Home / Services & Process

From Auction Floor
to Global Market.

Carefully managed at every stage. Refined over nearly thirty years. Every consignment that leaves our facility passes through the same disciplined process, built to protect quality from the auction floor to the final port of call.

Our Process

How a Single Leaf
Becomes a Finished Export.

From tea selection and blend development through to packing, quality control and export, every shipment follows a carefully managed process designed to deliver consistent quality, shipment after shipment.

01
Tea selection at the Colombo Tea Auction

Tea Evaluation & Selection

Tea samples sourced through trusted brokers are carefully evaluated by our grading and tasting team before purchasing decisions are made through the Colombo Tea Auction. Each lot is assessed for grade, appearance, liquor and consistency to ensure it meets the standards required for our blends.

02
Tasting and blending

Blend Development

Once teas have been selected, our tasting team develops and refines each blend to achieve the desired flavour profile. Modern vertical blenders, precision dust extractors and vibro sifters help ensure consistency across every production run.

03
Packaging and production

Production & Packaging

Approved blends move into production across our modern packing lines, including traditional tea bags, pyramid tea bags, K-Cup-compatible capsules, flavouring, overwrapping and a wide range of consumer packaging formats.

04
Storage and quality control

Quality Assurance

Every batch is monitored throughout production to ensure consistency from blend to finished pack. Our warehouses are designed to protect tea from moisture during storage, while the cold room houses herbs, flavours and other sensitive materials.

05
Export and logistics

Export & Logistics

Our export team prepares the documentation, certifications and shipping arrangements required for each destination market, ensuring every consignment leaves on schedule and arrives ready for import.

Every stage is managed under one roof, allowing us to maintain quality, consistency and clear communication from tea selection through to export.
