Our production process has been fine-tuned over our decades of experience in the field. From tea packing to creating our own t-sips brand we ensure that the tea remains fresh, aromatic and rich in flavour. Each cup of our tea embodies our passion and experience backed by world-class technology and hygienic facilities.
PRODUCTION
Tasting & Grading
Sri Lanka’s diverse elevations and growing regions give Ceylon Tea its remarkable range of flavours, aromas, colours and characteristics. At Expoteas, we source teas from across the island’s renowned tea-growing regions, selecting each tea according to the quality profile and requirements of our customers.
Our experienced tea tasting team carefully evaluates teas for key characteristics such as appearance, aroma, liquor colour, strength and flavour, ensuring quality and consistency from selection through to the final blend.
Tea grading classifies manufactured tea according to factors such as leaf size and appearance, helping us select the most suitable grades for different brewing styles, product formats and market preferences.
Through professional tasting, grading and blending, we create consistent tea profiles tailored to our customers — whether for a distinctive single-region tea, a customised blend or a private-label product.
Purchasing & Blending
At Expoteas, quality begins with careful sourcing. We procure Ceylon Tea through Sri Lanka’s established tea auction system, selecting teas from different growing regions and grades to meet specific quality, flavour and market requirements.
Our experienced tea team evaluates and selects teas before developing blends tailored to customer specifications, target markets and desired taste profiles. Whether creating a new blend or maintaining an established profile, our focus is on achieving consistency from batch to batch.
With both manual and machine blending capabilities, we can accommodate a wide range of product and volume requirements. Our in-house flavouring capabilities also enable us to develop customised flavoured teas using carefully selected teas, ingredients and flavour profiles.
From sourcing and tasting to blending and flavouring, Expoteas provides customers with the flexibility and expertise to create tea products tailored to their brand and market.
