Story Of Unique Pure Ceylon Single Estate Hand Made Tea
Ceylon Tea is one of Sri Lanka’s most cherished treasures — a natural beverage celebrated worldwide for its unique flavor, character, and leaf style. First introduced to the island in 1867, tea cultivation spread from the central highlands across diverse elevations, each giving rise to distinctive flavors that make Ceylon Tea truly exceptional.
Hidden in the ancient kingdom of Seethawaka lies a Sri Lankan owned small holder tea farm, nestled in the village of Puwakpitiya, just 50 km from Colombo. Surrounded by the lush Seethawaka mountain range, our estate sits at an elevation of 800–1,400 ft above sea level, bordered by natural forests rich in wildlife, flora, and fauna, nourished by abundant spring water. Nearby, the Seethawaka Botanical Garden shelters many rare and endemic bird species — a setting as pure and vibrant as the tea it inspires.
The story of Hidden Hills Tea began when four friends with a shared passion for tea came together with a vision: to craft a tea that was authentic, transparent, and deeply connected to its roots. From that dream grew our single-estate, handmade, unblended Ceylon Tea.

Our process is simple yet meticulous. Only the tender two leaves and a bud are handpicked by our skilled harvesters — the part of the leaf richest in antioxidants and polyphenols. Within an hour of harvest, the leaves are naturally withered, then hand sorted and rolled to release their natural compounds. They are carefully fermented, gently dried at the lowest possible temperatures, and finally packed the very same day to preserve freshness.
At the heart of it all is our commitment to traceability. With every pack of Hidden Hills Tea, you can know exactly who harvested and crafted — connecting you directly to the people behind every cup.
Guided by the expertise of our tea master, each batch reflects the artistry and care of generations of craftsmanship. Our green tea is sweet and fruity, black tea is bright and bold, and golden tea carries a mellow floral note.
Hidden Hills Tea is more than just a beverage. It is a story of friendship, passion, and place — a tea that is truly the best of Ceylon.
