Ceylon Tea is one of Sri Lanka’s global trademarks and Chelcey takes pride in exporting the finest quality tea, rich in taste and aroma, from this beautiful island. It has always been a concern whether our countrymen are served the best tea with the real taste of tea. This led to Chelcey focusing on proper products that suit the Sri Lankan market. With its launch, Chelcey Tea now serves Daniel’s Rasata Kahata, which suits the Sri Lankan taste for a strong cup of tea. In addition, Daniel’s Golden BOPF lends a better experience in terms of taste and aroma.

Leading the fastest growing tea exporters in Sri Lanka, the Chelcey Tea Company makes its presence felt in the local market with the launch of Daniel’s premium quality tea. Sustained with the strength of the parent company, Chelcey Holdings Ltd., and grown under its guidance, Chelcey has been steadily increasing its export quota since 2008, when the first consignment was shipped to Ukraine. Thereafter, Chelcey Tea reached many international markets, mainly in Eastern Europe, with Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, and Georgia being the markets to which the largest quantities of tea are exported.
Chelcey Holdings Chairman Dr. Harsha Gamage reflects on the inception of Chelcey: “I always had the idea of promoting our motherland and wanted a reliable, long-lasting and memorable product, and it was tea that suited that idea the best. With the company moving on steadily, everyone questioned why we were not providing the local market with this exceptional-quality tea. That is what pushed us to launch in the local market.”
Chelcey Tea Company guarantees the quality, taste and freshness of its tea in the production process. The factories adhere to the highest standards, and the focus is on hygienic packaging and continuous monitoring. Producing the finest quality cup of tea is a work of passion at Daniel’s Tea, and the Master Taster makes sure that only the best is served to the company’s discerning customers.
“An island-wide distribution ensures that products are available in retail outlets close to the customer’s home,” explained Chelcey Trading Managing Director Vipula Gunasekara.
He added that the distributing channel and the sales team are ably supported by a fully automated system, through which the head office gathers real time updates of all transactions. This helps in providing quality service to all customers.
With premium quality products from Daniel’s TEA available at the convenience of the neighbourhood store, the customer is guaranteed the goodness of the best quality tea.
“While appreciating your participation, we look forward to your continued support and valuable efforts in making this event a success.”
