Embassy of Sri Lanka in Belgium hosts Ceylon tea promotion event

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. Meantime, following Portuguese princess Catherine’s introduction of tea in 1660 AD, this wonderful beverage eventually became UK’s favorite drint. Ultimately, tea had the honour of being the national beverage in England. With no doubt, tea provided the refreshment, stimulation, relaxation and good health for Brits to build up a massive empire. Belgium is one of the nabouring nations to UK, but the tea consumption is not so popular as coffee. As Sri Lanka Tea Board had reported, the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Belgium hosted the first-ever Ceylon tea promotion and tea tasting event, titled “A Journey of Flavour and Aroma from Sri Lanka to Belgium,” on October 18, 2023, at the Press Club Brussels. This event, organized in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Tea Board and the Export Development Board, aimed to promote Ceylon tea’s exceptional quality and rich aroma, in Belgium.

Ambassador Grace Asirwatham highlighted Ceylon tea’s 150-year legacy, emphasizing its unique flavours from hand-picked tea leaves grown in diverse Sri Lankan climates. She commended Ceylon tea’s high-quality production, achieved through ethical labour practices and sustainable agriculture. Sri Lanka’s role as the leading exporter of orthodox black tea to the EU, valued at Euro 79 million under EU GSP Plus, was also praised for its positive societal impact.

Ambassador Asirwatham stressed Sri Lanka’s commitment to sustainability, global best practices, and partnerships with conservation organizations. Ceylon Tea holds certifications such as Fair Trade, Ethical Tea Partnership, Rainforest Alliance, and multiple organic certifications, underscoring its eco-friendly production.

A Ceylon Tea Stall Set Up to Promote ‘Ceylon Green Tea’ in Australia

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. Meantime, following Portuguese princess Catherine’s introduction of tea in 1660 AD, this wonderful beverage eventually became UK’s favorite drint. Ultimately, tea had the honour of being the national beverage in England. With no doubt, tea provided the refreshment, stimulation, relaxation and good health for Brits to build up a massive empire. Sri Lanka Tea Board is the government body which is responsible for international promotion of Pure Ceylon Tea. As Sri Lanka Tea Board had published, A Ceylon Tea stall was set up to promote ‘Ceylon Green Tea’ given the increasing demand of Australians for sustainable, nutrient rich and a healthy drink. This event had been organized by Australia Sri Lanka Parliamentary Friendship Group on 19th June 2023 in Canberra.

The Sri Lanka Tea Board sponsored ‘Ceylon Green Tea Stall on , while ‘Dilmah’, a prominent Ceylon Tea exporter in the Australian market provided gift tea (flavoured green tea) to the invitees. Ceylon tea promotion videos depicting ‘sustainable-grown’ variety of Ceylon tea for the world market were screened at the reception. The event was held alongside a live demonstration on ‘Ceylon Green Tea Tasting Session’ by the staff of the Mission.

It’s not certain how effective the Ceylon green tea promotion will be in these key markets. Sri Lanka is well known and recognized for it’s unique, tasty and high quality black tea. But if Sri Lanka is going to promote green teas, responsible officers have to find ways and means to differentiate from Japanese and Chinese green teas. Japanese and some of the top green teas in China are much more superior than Ceylons while China and Vietnam produces much cheaper green teas to the mass market.
