Hendricks Tea opened its newest outlet on the Kandy Road in Kiribathgoda, to popularize its teas at reasonable prices.
“Our teas come from handpicked selection of tea estates in Sri Lanka, while packaging is done under the careful supervision of experienced tea professionals to ensure that you get the best quality Sri Lankan Tea,” said Director of Hendrick & Brothers (Pvt) Ltd., Kasun Ranabahu.
Ranabahu, a third generation director of the firm, has 47 years of experience in the tea trade.
“Our company’s humble beginning was in Colombo, when Hendricks Mallikage opened the first retail store at Prince Street. Due to his untiring efforts, within 15 years of establishing the first retail store, Hendricks’ Tea, had the largest share of the domestic tea market, surpassing Lipton and Brook Bond tea companies, which were considered as the tea giants during that era,” he said.
“We’re positive that we can repeat those historic accomplishments in modern times. For us, each Hendricks Tea outlet is a dream we want to bring alive. The appreciation and positive feedback that we have received with the opening of the Hendricks Tea outlet in Kiribathgoda is encouraging and motivates us to go that extra mile in delighting our tea patrons while preserving the Hendricks’s heritage,” Ranabahu said.
Hendricks Tea outlets offer an eclectic collection of exceptional teas, and gives guests an opportunity to celebrate the individuality and taste of tea from Sri Lanka. The outlet also offers gift tea options, giving guests the choice of presenting a gift of tea in various combinations, he said.
