Our tea factories are where fresh leaves are transformed with skill, care and precision. Time honoured methods work alongside modern expertise to preserve the natural character, aroma and quality of each harvest.
Every stage is carefully managed to uphold the standards of authentic Ceylon Tea. From receiving freshly plucked leaves to final packing, our factories protect the flavour and freshness that begin on the estate.
Freshly plucked leaves are gently withered to reduce moisture and prepare them for rolling.
The leaves are carefully rolled to release their natural juices and begin developing their character.
The rolled leaves are allowed to oxidise under controlled conditions, shaping the tea’s colour, aroma and flavour.
Warm air stops oxidation and removes remaining moisture, preserving the tea’s distinctive character.
The finished tea is sorted by grade and carefully packed to protect its freshness, aroma and quality.
