Tea is not a drink here so much as a ritual. Each pot arrives with a story, and may be refreshed three times — reason enough to do nothing for an hour but watch the light move across the paddy.
Our tea collection is personally curated by Herman Gunaratne, the world-renowned tea expert and proprietor of the celebrated Handunugoda Estate nearby — a name spoken with reverence across Ceylon.
The rarest leaf of all
Handunugoda’s legend is its Virgin White tea — ‘the rarest untouched perfection’ — picked so that the leaf is never touched by human hand. It is among the most prized teas on earth, and it pours here by the pot.
A collection to explore
Beyond Virgin White, the selection runs from Sapphire Oolong and a delicate Rainforest tea to pure greens, a green with a hint of mint, Cinnamon tea from spice country, and a smoky Ceylon Souchong. Our Book of Teas tells the story behind each.
Every sip tells a story of unparalleled dedication to taste, health and heritage.
Take yours wherever you feel most at ease — under the vines, in the sitting room, or on your own balcony as the day cools.
