The exquisite and unique taste of Basilur tea is partly attributed to the high quality tea we source. So, here are some insights into how we source our tea. Ceylon tea gains its reputation as the cleanest tea in the world due to its strict compliance with EU standards and ISO where all pesticides levels are kept at their minimal levels. Also, Ceylon teas are 100% handpicked, a tradition perfected over centuries. This will make sure that only the best tea leaves are collected from the plants.

Nuwara Eliya, nicknamed the “Little England” of Sri Lanka for its chilly climate and colonial style bungalows, is situated at an elevation of 1,868 m in the misty hills of central Sri Lanka. Nuwara Eliya’s European-style environment is a result of the city once being a retreat for colonial planters and high-society. Its location has bestowed Nuwara Eliya with textbook conditions for hillside Ceylon tea plantations!
