Sri Lanka, place by place
Drinking culture changes quickly with landscape, climate and local habit. These are useful places to begin.
Culture & ritual
How it is enjoyed
The serve, setting and moment can matter as much as what is in the glass or cup.
Taste the altitude
Sri Lankan tea changes dramatically with elevation: high-grown teas can be lighter and more fragrant, while lower-grown teas tend to be darker and fuller.
Milk tea for everyday drinking
Strong black tea with milk and sugar is an everyday comfort serve, distinct from the more analytical tasting of single-region teas.
Arrack beyond the neat pour
Sri Lankan arrack can be enjoyed neat, over ice or in long drinks where lime, ginger or soda lift its coconut-flower and oak character.
