Who we are

Tea with a name you can stand behind

Sri Lanka has given the world Ceylon tea for over 150 years. Anew exists to carry that legacy forward — sourcing across all six growing regions and packing close to origin so the aroma, body, and brightness reach your shelves intact.

From a state-of-the-art tea bagging facility in suburban Colombo, we run export, private-label, bulk, and packaging programs side by side. That breadth lets us meet buyers wherever they are — a first trial pallet or a repeating container, a loose-leaf wholesale spec or a fully branded market-ready line.

Led by director Mr. K. A. Indika Sandaruwan, the team works as an extension of yours: responsive, documented, and committed to getting the details right, shipment after shipment.

Six regions

One island, six distinct cups

Ceylon's growing districts each lend their own character — from the delicate high-grown Nuwara Eliya to the bold low-country Ruhuna.

Nuwara Eliya

High grown

≈ 1,900 m

Delicately fragrant

The highest district produces a light, bright, briskly fragrant cup — the 'champagne of Ceylon tea', pale gold in the cup.

Dimbulla

High grown

1,100–1,700 m

Refreshingly mellow

West-facing high country shaped by the monsoon; a clean, mellow, golden-orange cup with a refined finish.

Kandy

Mid grown

600–1,200 m

Full-bodied

The cradle of Ceylon tea near the old royal capital — a strong, full-bodied, coppery cup with intense character.

Uda Pussellawa

High grown

≈ 1,000–1,600 m

Exquisitely tangy

Neighbour to Nuwara Eliya, producing a rosy, tangy, medium cup that turns darker and richer in the dry season.

Uva

High grown

1,100–1,700 m

Exotically aromatic

Eastern slopes dried by seasonal winds give Uva its famous mellow, exotic aroma and smooth, distinctive flavour.

Ruhuna

Low grown

0–600 m

Distinctively unique

Southern low country yields a bold, dark, full-bodied cup with a long, robust finish prized in many export markets.

Global reach

Trusted by buyers across four continents

From North America to the Middle East and Asia, Anew Ceylon Tea supplies importers, brands and wholesalers worldwide — backed by a USA office in Honolulu.
