The Vintage Heritage

Our Ceylon Tea Story

From the pioneer James Taylor in 1867 to three generations of dedicated family planters.

James Taylor’s Tea Journey

James Taylor, the pioneer of the Ceylon tea industry, arrived in Ceylon in 1852. He first planted tea on 19 acres at Loolkandura Estate in 1867, which as of today still strives to produce quality Sri Lankan tea.

He was a dynamic person who was always willing to learn. Despite facing many challenges, he made Ceylon tea famous worldwide. Our teas carry his legacy, promising you a taste of history and quality in every single cup.

Our Tea Story

Our experience in the Tea Plantation Industry dates back to the British Colonial Era. Being tea growers for more than three generations, our family has passed down our heritage from generation to generation, infusing the essence of tradition and pride into providing you with quality tea.
