Where to buy authentic unblended Ceylon Tea?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 18, 2026

Authentic unblended Ceylon tea is best purchased right from the estate factory shops in the central highlands, like Pedro or Mackwoods, or else from specialised retailers such as Dilmah’s t-Lounges in Colombo.

When you buy straight from the factory, you get that single-estate purity and also freshness that actually make a difference. Plenty of tea boutiques in major cities will also stock graded unblended varieties with the official Lion Logo on the pack. Try not to buy tea in generic spice gardens, where the prices are famously pumped up, and the quality supervision tends to be weak or uneven.
