SRI LANKA TEA
Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has become one of the world's most renowned tea-producing countries. Grown in lush, high-altitude regions and shaped by tropical monsoons, Sri Lankan tea is known for its clarity, brightness, and refined strength. From mist-covered hillsides to terraced plantations, tea is an essential part of daily life and national identity.

ABOUT
The story of Sri Lankan tea dates back to the 19th century, under British colonial rule, when the island was still known as Ceylon. After a devastating coffee blight in the 1860s, planters turned to tea as a replacement crop. With the introduction of tea bushes from China and Assam, and the establishment of terraced plantations in the island’s cool, misty highlands, Sri Lanka quickly became a leading global producer. The country developed a structured and efficient tea industry, combining manual harvesting with mechanical processing, setting the foundation for what would become the world-renowned Ceylon Tea brand.
