Tea Exporters Association Rewards Outstanding Tea Producers

The Tea Exporters Association ( TEA ) rewards the outstanding tea producers for the second consecutive year at its’ Annual General Meeting held on Friday, 31st August 2018 at the Oak room , Cinnamon Grand . This annual event  has been introduced to encourage, recognize and reward Sri Lankan tea manufactures who have excelled in tea manufacture. The quality of tea is the most important factor when determining the competitiveness of Ceylon Tea in the international market . The better quality tea also attracts good prices at the Colombo tea auction.  TEA also requests its members to support the winning marks/estates by offering better prices at the Colombo tea auction . The concept is based on “Total Excellence in Tea Production” covering all aspects of tea manufacturer. The 2018 event was focused on seven agro-climatic regions – Nuwaraeliya, Dimbula, Uva, Uda Pussellawa, Kandy, Ruhuna and Sabaragamuwa.
 
The 2nd and 3rd place awards were presented by Hon. Navin Dissanayake, Minister of Plantation Industries, who was the Guest of Honour at the event  while Hon. Ranil Wickramesighe, Prime Minister, Chief Guest at the AGM  gave away the awards for seven winners. The list of winners are given below.
