Lumbini Tea Factory

Sri Lanka
The Valley, it is here that the story of the world’s finest tea begins… The valley is a place where the soil is un-eroded and nutritious, with pure oxygen rich air flowing in from 18,900 acres of virgin rain forest Sinharaja (UNESCO world heritage site). The warm ocean breeze wafts in from the Southern coast, while the Gin River famous for its precious stones flows through the valley below. The unique combination of atmospheres make for one of the richest, unspoiled environments on the earth.
Once the natural essence of the laves is brought out, the fresh oxygen rich atmosphere of the Lumbini valley comes in to play, developing flavour, aroma and richness, enhancing the wellness offered through the tea as the tea naturally oxidizes.
We are also expanding our grove, and have a new crop of rare white teas, and are perfecting the art of refining their taste in the Lumbini Valley. Our white tea is Cultivar 2043 from Camellia Sinensis.
On the edge of the forest we have begun a new phase in the Lumbini Valley story, our organic tea farming project - “Kalè”
To unite the elements of earth, air, light, and water to produce a cup of tea that reflects the land it came from and the heart and feelings of every person involved in the process of creating it. We are looking to create a better world in and outside the cup. Within the cup, we have preserved perfection, as close to the first ‘untainted’ cup of Camelia Sinensis drunk 5000 years ago. Preserving it from the industrialization and commoditization of tea which has polluted the air and ground water in many tea growing areas globally.
Our tea bushes breathe the cleanest Oxygen rich air and lay roots in the purest soil giving us at Lumbini Valley the scope to produce and refine teas that are elixirs for the body and the soul, that has taken the Lumbini Valley brand to the world.

The factory tour is free of charge but tea tasting is 2.5usd for 5 types of tea
