The story of Tea of Life

The story of Tea of Life goes beyond selling delicious teas and herbal blends – our production process is just as remarkable. All our blends are entirely produced in Sri Lanka and carry the Fairtrade certification. Additionally, two of our three ranges are certified organic.

The quality of our tea is all about the love and attention that we put into the production process. The local tea producers have so many years of experience and extensive knowledge about tea that we can assure that the tea is picked, processed, dried, and packaged at exactly the right moment.

We believe in the power of the local chain. Our tea is processed in Sri Lanka up to the finished product. This is how we create more jobs for more people and contribute to a growing local economy. So your cup of tea influences their lives and that of their families.

That’s why we are called Tea of Life.
