From the auction floor to your port.

Most Ceylon tea changes hands at the Colombo Tea Auction. This is how a lot moves from the broker’s catalogue to your warehouse.

Take your brief

Region, grade, quantity, packing and destination port. Price guidance and timing are agreed before we go to the floor.

We read the brokers’ catalogues, draw samples of matching lots and taste each one against your brief.

We bid only on lots that pass, then blend them to a consistent standard so every shipment tastes like the last.

Packed in the format you chose, with export documents prepared and a pre-shipment sample sent for your approval.
