Mevlana Tea
Sri Lanka: The Award-Winning Tea Island
Sri Lanka, an island as the world's third-largest tea producer
The abundant rainfall and fertile land of the island facilitated tea production and enabled the spread of the legendary Ceylon tea all over the world. James Taylor is known as the father of the Ceylon tea industry, as he first commercially cultivated this tea in 1867.
Today, more than a million people work in the tea industry on the island. This makes it the island's largest employer. In Sri Lanka, the world's third-largest tea producer, three types of tea are grown. The products, which are grown at altitudes of over 1200 m and contain 100% Ceylon tea, are marked with the lion logo and differ from other teas.
Environmentally friendly processing methods
In addition to the quality of the products, the tea producers attach great importance to not harming the natural structure of the island. Environmentally friendly methods are used in the cultivation and processing of Ceylon tea. With these practices, Sri Lanka has established a pioneering image in environmentally friendly production and was recognized as a leader in ozone layer protection at the Montreal Protocol Practitioners Awards in 2007.
If you happen to visit Sri Lanka, the tea island, you should definitely enjoy the nature, tranquility, and a cup of tea. Until your trip to the home of Ceylon tea, we recommend you enjoy the high-quality Mevlana Tea from Goran Tee.
