Picture the dawn-to-dusk dance amidst tea bushes, where each pluck is a masterpiece, and each basket holds the promise of extraordinary flavour.

Wrapped in the rich tapestry of Tamil culture, these remarkable individuals don the symbol of tradition—a third eye delicately painted on their foreheads.

Witness the elegance as they carry baskets brimming with nature's bounty, destined for our signature Ceylon tea.

Beyond being the backbone of our tea industry, these artisans are the storytellers of our history. From the colonial era to the present, they've shaped the legacy of Sri Lankan tea.
