HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Welcome to Glen Nevis Plantation, a picturesque tea estate nestled in Sri Lanka's Kandy District, near the majestic Knuckles Rainforest. Amidst the trials of COVID-19, we embarked on a journey to revitalize this neglected estate, inspired by our passion for Scotland's tea legacy. Named after the scenic Ben Nevis and Glen Nevis areas, our plantation symbolizes our deep connection to both land and history.

Despite its remote location, we embraced the challenge of transforming the overgrown wilderness into a flourishing tea haven. With the invaluable support of local villagers, we replanted, pruned, and nurtured the land, turning it into a thriving tea plantation.

Today, Glen Nevis Plantation stands as a testament to resilience, passion, and community spirit. From its humble beginnings, it has blossomed into a beacon of hope and prosperity for the villagers and tea enthusiasts alike.

Join us on this extraordinary journey as we continue to cultivate and share the exquisite flavors of Glen Nevis tea with the world. Discover the essence of Glen Nevis tea and experience a taste of tradition, history, and unparalleled quality.

The process

Explore Glen Nevis Plantation, where excellence is cultivated at every step of the journey from bud to cup.
Here, we embrace a meticulous process that ensures only the finest tea buds are harvested. Our dedicated team undergoes rigorous training to meticulously inspect each bud, upholding our stringent standards. Led by our Plantation Owner, Arnold, every bud undergoes final scrutiny, guaranteeing only the highest quality makes it to plucking.
This commitment to quality extends to our harvesting process, where skilled tea pluckers handle each bud with precision and care. From presentation to packaging, elegance and refinement are our priorities. Soft-lined trays and delicate handling gloves ensure every interaction with our products exudes sophistication.
After harvest, our buds are gently sun-dried, allowing them to bask in the morning sunlight to achieve the perfect texture and flavor profile. Each batch is carefully monitored to preserve its unique character, culminating in approval by our Master Tea Taster.
Finally, our prized silver tips are sealed in airtight containers, preserving their delicate flavor and aroma until they reach tea enthusiasts worldwide. With each sip, experience the unparalleled quality and excellence that defines our tea.

Join us on a journey of refinement and indulgence. Experience the epitome of tea craftsmanship with every cup.
