Ceylon tea, from Sri Lanka, has a global reputation and is one of the worlds best selling tea brands. Whilst other traditional tea growing nations produce some excellent tea, the quantity of exported tea is low because of high domestic demand e.g. India and China each have over 1.3 billion citizens. The Sri Lankan population is far smaller and the entire tea production output is allocated to the high quality export market. At PMD we work with only the best plantations to curate the range we offer today.

Ceylon tea maintains the original blueprint laid down by the pioneer planters who built the industry off the back of a broken coffee industry. Although a small island, Sri Lanka, enjoys some unique agro growing climates. Each region has its own unique characteristics; Soil conditions, flora, fauna, elevation, sun light and rainfall, and each sub growing district of each region gives every tea its own unique flavour. As you move towards the higher elevations of the Nano Oya sub district, teas become lighter. Come further down to Dick Oya Maskeliya and the teas are much darker in colour and fuller in flavour. Every cup of PMD Ceylon tea originates from 100% hand plucked leaves.
