A journey through the Golden Valley of Ceylon.
During his visits to Sri Lanka, Bogawantalawa's Brand Ambassador for the Europe region, Stijn Van Schoonlandt, spent time across our estates to experience the people, places and processes behind 150 years of tea making.
His journey took him to the estates of the Golden Valley of Ceylon including Bogawantalawa, Bogawana, Kotiyagalla, Norwood, Loinorn, Wanarajah and Fettresso, where he experienced the growing conditions, cultivation and harvesting methods, tea manufacturing process, specialty teas that unique to Bogawantalawa Teas and what make us stands out among others.
With a deeper understanding of Bogawantalawa Teas from source to cup, combined with his extensive tea knowledge, this marks the beginning of a long and meaningful partnership, creating new opportunities to share our heritage, craftsmanship and exceptional teas with tea enthusiasts throughout the region.
