Why buy tea from Sri Lanka ?

​

• The tea trade in Sri Lanka benefits the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of Sri Lanka.  Your business investment goes a long way in a third world country. 

• Sri Lankan tea estate workers belong to unions that protect their human rights, benefits, salaries, and retirement plans. The workers have access to government sponsored healthcare systems including access to local medical clinics.  The Sri Lankan government works with the unions to help and support the workers’ families.  No child labor practices are permitted.  Your investment benefits the financial well-being and preserves the human rights of Sri Lankan tea workers.

The Ceylon tea plantation estates are located in the cool Sri Lankan hillsides.  The tea is harvested completely by hand, irrigated by rain and waterfall springs.  Absolutely no pesticides are sprayed on the tealeaves.  Electricity for the tea plantations is supplied by hydroelectric power plants, thus helping preserve the environment and reduce their carbon footprint.
