Artisan grower Buddika Dissanayake revived a 19th-century, 100-acre plantation long reclaimed by rainforest. Today the abandoned trees—towering 30–40 ft inside Adam’s Peak reserve—yield wild “forest-grown” teas such as Pink Green (turns rose with citrus), Black Pebble and a patented hand-rolled Tea Rod. Forest Hill pays living wages, funds women’s healthcare and tracks each micro-lot online in real time, embodying its motto: Community-Driven Tea.
