Ceylon Tea coming from the resplendent island nation, Sri Lanka is recognized for her well balanced tasting profile by tea connoisseurs all over the globe. Sri Lanka Tea Board (SLTB) is the government body which is responsible for international promotion of Pure Ceylon Tea. I reported about the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between Sri Lanka Tea Board and Lotte group of company in Korea on 16th of August. This news is about another MOU signed by tea board of Sri Lanka with Myung Won Cultural Foundation at the Myung Won World Tea Expo in Seoul, South Korea. Chairman of the Lanka Tea Board Mr Lucille Wijewardena signed the agreement with the Chairperson of the Myung Won Cultural Foundation Ms Kim Euijung.

The Myung Won Cultural Foundation carries on the legacy of the pioneer of Korean tea, Myung Won Kim Mi Hee. The foundation is recognized as the head family of the Korean traditional tea ceremony. So this MOU will certainly assist Ceylon tea to be more popular in the Republic of South Korea !

Uniqueness of Ceylon Tea

a. According to a claim made by the International Standard Organization (ISO), This special tea is the Cleanest Tea origin in the world considering pesticide residues. Sri Lankan authorities have imposed strict regulations on agro-chemical usage in order to meet Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) of European Union (EU) and Japan.

b. United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) has also recognized Sri Lankan Tea as the First Ozone friendly / Ethical Tea Origin in the world. View more details on Ozone Friendly story via URL:

c. Even though Sri Lanka is a small Island which is also know as “The Pearl of Indian Ocean”, “Asia’s Sweet Heart” and “The Wonder of Asia”, the diversity (Regional difference) of Ceylon Tea is quite amazing. One would enjoy a light, fragrant Nuwara-Eliya Tea from the highest mountain peak with Citrus notes while another is enjoying a strong, full bodied Ruhuna Tea from Ruhuna region situated in the down south. More details on regional diversity will be discussed desperately.

d. Sensory-wise, Ceylon Tea has got a well-balanced taste with ideal strength, flavor and aroma for a perfect cup of tea.

e. Although hand shears and mechanical tea harvesters are used pluck at very few tea fields, Sri Lankan tea is plucked exclusively by human hand.

Hope you would love to deserve above benefits. All you need to do is to fetch some Ceylon Tea from the nearest store / tea shop / super market and prepare a steaming pot of tea to enjoy with your loving ones.
