The Story of Maskeliya

Set among the mist covered hills of Ceylon, Maskeliya has been shaped by generations of tea growing and the people who know this land so well. Its cool climate and fertile slopes give each harvest a rich, full bodied character. With care for both tradition and the environment, the estate continues to produce Ceylon Tea with warmth, depth and a true sense of place.

The Tea Story

Where Every Cup Begins

Every cup begins among the slopes of Maskeliya, where cool air, fertile soils and sweeping mountain landscapes shape the leaf long before it reaches the factory.

The Place

A Landscape Made for Tea

Maskeliya sits among the misty highlands of Ceylon, where cool air, fertile soils and sweeping mountain landscapes surround the estate.

The Leaf

It Begins with the Leaf

Tender young leaves are selectively harvested by hand, so the quality of a tea is decided on the slope long before it reaches the factory.

The Region

Shaped by the Highlands

The highland year turns between cooler, drier months and heavier rain, and each harvest carries something of the weather it grew through, in subtle shifts of aroma and character from one picking to the next.
