Sri Lanka is mainly divided into three main climatic zones, wet, intermediate and dry-zone, based on the rainfall pattern. These zones are further divided into agro-ecological regions which are demarcated on the basis of few factors such as elevation, rainfall expectancy and distribution, soil conditions, terrain and land use pattern etc.
The climatic requirements of tea are satisfied by almost entire wet zone and certain regions in the intermediate zone. Tea growing regions are shown in the following map (after Department of Agriculture, 2003)
