Why Nothing Compares to Pure Ceylon Tea.
Hand-picked with care from lush green hills, every leaf is crafted using time-honored methods that protect nature and empower the hardworking families behind every cup.
One island.Seven growing regions.Endless expressions of Ceylon Tea.
From cool, mist-covered mountains to warm southern valleys, Sri Lanka packs remarkable differences in elevation, rainfall and climate into one island.
Tea responds to every one of them. The same plant can produce a delicate, floral cup in the highlands and a rich, honeyed character in the low country.
