BANGALORE: Our island neighbour of Sri Lanka is known for its top quality tea and one of its best known brands, Hyson Tea, has come to Bangalore. Twelve different flavours of tea will be distributed by Lekkad Exports and Events Pvt. Ltd across the country. At the media launch of Hyson Tea here on Friday, Hyson Tea Marketing Manager Sahampathy Dissanayake said his brand has a wide range of value added products to every taste, culture, mood and moment. Hyson Teas Pvt., Ltd., has been exporting Ceylon tea to over 25 countries, he added.

Mr. Dissanayake said that Hyson’s team of professionals and dynamic tea traders possess a collective experience of many years in international tea testing, blending, grading and trading. The tea comes in diverse forms of packets, tea bags, metal tins, gift items and canisters containing a variety of black and green teas ranging from regular, flavoured, fruit, specialty blends, herbal, cocktail and liquor teas.

Lekkad Director Sagar Lekkad said initially they would import Hyson tea in teabags (of two gram each) and their target would be major corporate houses. Later, they would also import loose tea, he added. The official launch will take place on Saturday with the Union Minister of State for Planning M.V. Rajashekharan releasing the Hyson tea products.
