Excellence
Our Story
From a Single Office
in Colombo, to the World.
Ceylon Tea Plantation Exports (CTPE) is a family-owned company with big aspirations and an unconditional love for tea. For over three decades we have sourced quality Ceylon teas, blended them with precision, and packed them to the highest international standards, building an export footprint that today reaches all five continents.
Our in-house infrastructure spans both bulk and consumer-unit packing, giving us the flexibility to serve everyone from large wholesale importers to boutique private label partners. Beyond Pure Ceylon tea, we also pack herbal, organic and decaffeinated teas sourced from select origins around the world, broadening what we can offer without ever compromising on the standards we built our name on.

Certification & Quality
Quality is Our
Only Non-Negotiable.
We believe the best tea speaks for itself, but the standards behind it matter just as much as what's in the cup. From sourcing and blending to packaging and export, quality management is embedded throughout our operation.
Our commitment is supported by internationally recognised certifications and industry standards, including:
- ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System Ensuring robust food safety controls, traceability and quality assurance across our manufacturing processes.
- Ozone Friendly Pure Ceylon Tea Supporting environmentally responsible tea production and processing while preserving the integrity of Ceylon tea.
- Ceylon Tea Lion Logo Where our products are sourced entirely from Sri Lanka and packed in-country, they carry the internationally recognised Symbol of Quality issued by the Sri Lanka Tea Board.
Whether supplying pure Ceylon tea, custom blends or private-label programmes, we apply the same standards of consistency, safety and care to every shipment.
From the Founder
For almost thirty years, our philosophy has been simple. Look after the customer, look after the quality, and the business will look after itself. Every order that leaves our factory carries our family's name, and that's a responsibility we've never taken lightly.
More Than a Tea Supplier.
Customers come to us for tea. They stay with us because they know we'll take care of everything that comes with it—from sourcing and blending to packing, documentation and delivery.
We believe the best partnerships are built on trust, consistency and making life easier for the people we work with. Whether we're producing a first order or supplying you year after year, our role is to deliver with the same care and reliability, shipment after shipment.
