About The Balangoda Tea Estate

This garden finds itself in Ruhunu, Sri Lanka, sharing its geography with the renowned and truly breathtaking Yala National Park. The area has long been known for its thriving wildlife, from leopards to Asian elephants to wild boar and crocodiles.

Tea-growing, despite taking a back seat when compared to the animals found here, is also popular due to its outstanding quality.

While the likes of Uva, Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya boast cool climes, the Ruhunu district, in comparison, is hotter and more humid.
