Pure Single-Estate Ceylon Tea

Rooted in the Highlands, Crafted for Connoisseurs

The authentic heritage of Sri Lanka's mist-shrouded mountain peaks, hand-plucked at dawn and transported direct to the United Kingdom without compromise.

Misty Nuwara Eliya Tea Estate
Our Origins

Where Tropical Monsoons Meet Alpine Mist

Founded with an unwavering commitment to purity, Ceylon Ish Tea Limited was created to bridge the ancient tea gardens of Sri Lanka with the refined tea culture of the United Kingdom.

Unlike commercial supermarket brands that blend disparate leftover leaves from around the world, Ceylon Ish guarantees 100% pure single-estate provenance. We exclusively select orthodox whole-leaf teas harvested from high-elevation estates nestled above 6,000 feet, where the cooling mountain winds gently slow the leaf growth, concentrating complex aromas of wild honey, fresh citrus, and sweet pine.

Two Leaves & A Bud
