Sri Lanka is having a vintage Dimbulla quality season this year which is perhaps the best since 2009.

There have also been bright teas from the Agrapatna and Kotagala growing areas.
Strong demand from Japan and other traditional seasonal quality buyers pushed prices up for the best invoices on offer.
