Purest and Cleanest Ceylon Tea

Mabroc Kelani Valley Tea is grown, plucked, manufactured and packed by us in our very own tea gardens. All our Purest and Cleanest Ceylon Teas come from either a single garden, or from one of three valley regions, each with its unique agro-climatic properties. The Mahagasthotte, Fordyce and Kelani Valleys each have characteristics which impart a unique flavour to its teas.

	Tea Garden
	Our very own tea gardens are nestled in the hills of Ceylon, within the Mahagastotte , Fordyce and Kelani Valleys in Ceylon. Each of these valleys has unique characteristics, being situated in three distinct agro-climatic regions. Within these valleys lie six of our choicest tea gardens, each steeped in a long heritage of producing Ceylon's finest teas.
