A Cup of Purity, A Pledge for the Planet

Rooted in Purity, Grown with Purpose

Nestled in the misty highlands of Sri Lanka, our story begins in small, single-origin tea estates. Unlike blended teas, our leaves are sourced from individual gardens, each with its own unique terroir, character, and story. This allows us to trace every leaf back to its roots, ensuring unparalleled quality and a truly authentic Ceylon tea experience.

We believe tea should be pure, not just in flavour, but in principle. That’s why we partner directly with these small estates, upholding fair trade values to ensure the skilled hands that pluck our leaves are respected and rewarded fairly. When you choose Ceylon Teabox, you are sipping on integrity and supporting the communities that are the heart of Sri Lankan tea culture.

The Pure & Purposeful Cup

More Than a Beverage, It's a Belief

  • Unblended & Uncompromised: We never mix our teas. You experience the true, unadulterated taste of a specific Ceylon tea garden in every sip—from the bold, citrusy notes of a Nuwara Eliya to the malty richness of a Dimbulla.
  • Loose Leaf Excellence: By choosing whole loose leaves over dusty tea bags, you allow the leaf to fully unfurl, releasing a deeper, more complex aroma and a nuanced flavour that is simply unparalleled.
The Direct & Impactful Choice

From Our UK Home to Your Teacup

While our hearts and our tea gardens are in the sun-drenched hills of Sri Lanka, our home is right here in the United Kingdom. As a small UK-based business, we've built a direct bridge from the finest single-estates in Ceylon to tea lovers across the country and beyond.

Our UK warehouse serves as the hub of our operation, enabling us to offer faster shipping, fresher tea, and a smaller carbon footprint for deliveries within the UK and Europe. By importing our pure Ceylon loose-leaf tea in bulk directly from our partner estates, we streamline the journey, ensuring your tea arrives not only with incredible flavour but also with greater efficiency. This means you can enjoy the authentic, garden-fresh taste of Ceylon without the long wait, all while supporting a small British business with a global conscience.

We are proud to bring a world-class tea experience to your doorstep, right from our UK home.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.

  • Single-origin estate" means our tea is sourced from one specific, small tea garden in Sri Lanka, not blended from various plantations. This allows each tea to express its own unique character, much like a fine wine from a single vineyard. You get a purer, more distinct flavour and the assurance of knowing exactly where your tea comes from, guaranteeing its quality and authenticity.

  • For every order placed on our website, we partner with vetted reforestation organisations to plant one tree on your behalf. These planting projects are typically located in regions critically affected by deforestation, around the world. We receive regular updates from our partners, and we love to share the impact of our collective efforts with our community through our blog and newsletters.

  • As we are a UK-based business with a central warehouse, we can offer you significantly faster and more reliable delivery. Your tea doesn't have to travel directly from Sri Lanka each time an order is placed, which reduces shipping time and cost. It also ensures your tea is fresher when it reaches you, as it is stored in optimal conditions, and helps lower the carbon footprint of your individual delivery.

  • We are deeply committed to fair trade values. We build direct, long-term relationships with the managers of small tea estates in Sri Lanka. This allows us to ensure that the workers are paid fair wages and operate in safe conditions. By cutting out middlemen, we can guarantee a better price for the growers while ensuring you receive a tea of the highest quality.

  • The difference is in quality, flavour, and sustainability. Most tea bags contain broken-grade "fannings" or "dust," which brew quickly but lack the complex, nuanced flavours of whole leaves. Our loose-leaf tea consists of whole or large fragments of tea leaves, which unfurl during brewing to release a superior depth and aroma. Furthermore, our packaging is plastic-free, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

  • Absolutely! While we are proud to be a UK business, our mission is to share Pure Ceylon tea with the world. We ship internationally from our UK warehouse. Shipping costs and delivery times will vary depending on your location, and you can see the full details at checkout.
