At IVA Plants, we are excited to introduce the story of our exclusive partner, an exceptional tea estate nestled in the scenic Alagalla mountain range of central Sri Lanka.
This tea estate is renowned for producing rare and exclusive Ceylon teas, a testament to their dedication to top-tier quality and sustainability. Each tea variety is carefully crafted to ensure a distinctive and exquisite flavour profile, setting them apart in the world of fine teas.
What makes this estate truly special is its unwavering commitment to the local community. By providing essential employment opportunities to villagers from nearby areas, the estate significantly boosts the local economy. Sourcing services and materials locally further strengthens this symbiotic relationship, promoting economic stability and social well-being within the community.
Spanning over 8 hectares, the tea garden has a rich history marked by resilience and rejuvenation. After being neglected due to the owner’s absence abroad, the garden needed significant revival. The current owner, a tea industry veteran with over 30 years of experience, returned to Sri Lanka with a mission to restore the estate. His extensive knowledge and passion for tea have been crucial in revitalising the garden and bringing it back to life. Today, the estate thrives under the care of a dedicated team of 14 employees.
At IVA Plants, we are proud to collaborate with this remarkable tea estate. Their steadfast dedication to superior quality and sustainable practices aligns perfectly with our values. As we prepare to introduce their exquisite Ceylon teas to the UK, we invite you to experience the rich flavours and heritage that each cup offers.
