Amba Tea Estate, one of the most charming places in Sri Lanka, is located in the Uva Highlands. Picturesque landscapes, genuine hospitality, wonderful and very warm-hearted people who work hard to make our cup of tea perfect – all this is Amba.
Amba produces exquisite teas in very small batches, focusing on high quality, nuances and remarkable flavours. The specialty tea grown here gets its uniqueness from the careful plucking (only one leaf and one bud), to the meticulous processing by hand, and the precise professional control at every stage of production. The workers at Amba, led by production manager and talented tea maker Neethanjana Senadheera, have years of experience and expertise, ensuring that every batch of tea is crafted to perfection.
Amba is actively involved in environmental conservation efforts. They follow organic farming practices, which eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides, and promote biodiversity on their estate.
Simon Nihal Bell, the manager of the tea garden, runs Amba with a passion to produce high-quality teas and aims to improve the life of the local community. The estate is committed to social sustainability and pays 10 percent of the profits to its employees, uplifting their livelihoods. By establishing itself as a successful model for artisanal tea production, Amba aims to have a positive impact on the tea industry in Sri Lanka as a whole and hopes that other tea producers will be inspired to adopt similar practices, which in turn will benefit workers, communities and the environment across the country.
