A wide range of seasonal quality Uva teas were on offer at this week’s Colombo Tea Auction and a cross-section of grades achieved premium levels of price, Asia Siyaka Commodities PLC said.
It said Ceylon Tea is about a unique micro climate, seasonal variation, 150-year-old Artisanal tradition, unique sustainability framework and highest level of value addition enabled by marketing expertise.
In recent months, in the midst of a national economic crisis the resilience of the industry has emerged as a key factor. Despite numerous challenges the entire value chain continues to deliver on Sri Lanka promise to the world.
“At the heart of this success story are our “Tea People” – farmers, pluckers, tea makers, managers, tasters, auctioneers, marketers, administrators and scientists all working together to keep supplying great tasting Ceylon Tea to the world,” Asia Siyaka Commodities PLC added.
