Ceylon Tea Lion Logo Quality Standards
The famous Lion Logo is the official seal guaranteeing that tea is 100% Pure Ceylon Tea packed fresh in Sri Lanka.
The official guarantee of authenticity — certifying 100% pure Ceylon tea grown, harvested, crafted, and packed exclusively in Sri Lanka under strict international purity standards.
The 7 Rules for Lion Logo Certification
Every pack must contain only pure Ceylon tea grown in Sri Lanka, with no teas blended from other countries.
The tea must be blended and packed in consumer boxes strictly inside Sri Lanka before export.
Every batch is lab-tested to guarantee low moisture, high natural antioxidants, and zero adulteration.
The Lion Logo is reserved for retail consumer packs, tins, and teabag cartons weighing 1kg or less.
Packed in certified, hygienic facilities operating under strict food safety guidelines.
Every pack clearly prints the exporter's 4-digit Sri Lanka Tea Board license number.
Protected internationally so tea lovers always know they are getting the real thing.
Why Global Buyers Look for the Lion Logo
Specialty tea buyers and supermarkets across Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia look for the Lion Logo when selecting fine teas. The Lion Seal reassures shoppers that the tea in their cup is 100% authentic, unblended Ceylon tea packed fresh at the source.
By strictly reserving the logo for packs under 1kg, the Tea Board guarantees that foreign blenders cannot repackage or dilute Ceylon tea overseas.
