Founder Mr. A. P. D. Abeyrathne, acknowledged his commitment to tea in 1971 when he acquired the Uva Greenland Tea estate, once owned by a British national. Since then, with great diligence and empathy towards a growing clientele, he has been of service to many people around the world, producing some of the freshest and finest Ceylon tea Sri Lanka has to offer. Nearly three decades later, today he is joined by his beloved wife and three sons who all share the same passion and commitment to producing that perfect cup of premium Ceylon tea. Still a family business at heart, Halpe Tea continues to lay its focus beyond mere commercial gain, with a devotion to producing the best of tea with a personal touch of care and great detail of quality.
