Journey of Tea: From Sri Lankan Plantations to Your Cup

Every sip of Ceylon Tea tells a story — a story that begins in the misty hills of Sri Lanka and ends in your teacup. Join us on a journey to discover how one of the world’s finest teas is grown, harvested, and transformed into the perfect brew.

1. The Origins: Lush Sri Lankan Tea Plantations

Sri Lanka’s highlands, with their unique climate and fertile soil, provide the ideal environment for cultivating world-class tea. Tea bushes are grown across regions like Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva, each producing leaves with distinct flavors and aromas.

2. Nurturing and Growing the Tea Plants

Tea plants require patience and care. It takes nearly 4-5 years before a tea bush is ready for harvest. During this time, skilled farmers tend to the plants with precision, using sustainable and traditional techniques passed down through generations.

3. Handpicking the Finest Leaves

Ceylon Tea is handpicked — a meticulous process that ensures only the young, tender leaves and buds are selected. This enhances the tea’s flavor and quality, distinguishing it from machine-harvested varieties.

4. The Processing: Turning Leaves into Tea

Once harvested, the tea leaves undergo several steps:

• Withering: Reducing moisture to prepare for rolling.
• Rolling: Breaking the leaves to release enzymes.
• Oxidation: Developing flavor and color (for black tea).
• Drying: Stopping oxidation and preserving the tea.
• Sorting & Grading: Classifying tea based on size and quality.

5. Packaging and Exporting Ceylon Tea

After grading, the tea is packaged under hygienic conditions to retain its freshness and aroma. Ceylon Tea is then exported worldwide — reaching homes, cafes, and specialty stores in over 100 countries.

6. Brewing the Perfect Cup

From the hills of Sri Lanka to your hands, the journey ends with you. To experience the true taste of Ceylon Tea, brew it right:

• Use fresh, filtered water.
• Steep the tea at the correct temperature and time.
• Add a slice of lemon, a spoon of honey, or enjoy it plain.

From seed to sip, Ceylon Tea is a symbol of heritage, passion, and craftsmanship. Every cup connects you to the hardworking hands and rich soil of Sri Lanka.
