Our Story

Dr. Gamini wanted to give the entire world the gift of Ceylon tea. However, he wanted to go about this in a special way. He wanted tea to become more than just a beverage. He wanted tea to become an experience. Therefore, he partnered with Mr. Andrey Mareev, a leading creative director, whos magical powers have gifted the world with some of the best tea designs and supporting materials that the tea industry has seen.
