Nuwara Eliya, referred to as “Little England” by locals, is known for its cool weather, architecture and golf courses, as well as being the most well-known of Sri Lanka’s tea-growing districts. The area is rugged and mountainous, with a high elevation of over 6,000ft (ca. 1,830m) above sea level. The unique geo climatic attributes and terrain in this area produces an exceptional quality of tea, which is revered by tea connoisseurs from all over the world.
