Our company’s humble beginnings at No. 175, Prince Street, Colombo as a retail store started by Mr. Hendricks Mallikage. He was a perfectionist, who learnt the art of tea tasting in order to identify the best quality tea.
Much to his untiring efforts, in selling the finest tea to the consumers, put Hendricks’s Tea on the fast track to become the highest share holder in the domestic tea market within 15 years of establishing the first retail store. Hendricks’s tea surpassed Lipton and Brook Bond tea companies, which were considered as the tea giants during that era. Together with his elder son, Mr. Mallikage Edward Ranabahu, he began a journey to expand the business to provide the best quality tea to consumers in all corners of Sri Lanka. Mr. Edward Ranabahu later became Mr. Mallikage’s successor.
After taking over his father’s business, Mr. Ranabahu took Hendricks Tea to new heights by purchasing a tea estate named “Upper Lantern Hill” located in Gampola, in 1989. Mr. Edward Ranabahu is our company’s director and is also the head of the tasting department. He possesses 47 years of invaluable experience and incredible reputation.
Currently, we supply tea by the name “Auckland Tea” through John Keells Tea Brokers to be sold at the auction for exports. This has given us the opportunity to work more closely with John Keells tea brokers and has lead us to identify and understand the structure of their work to further our mission in providing the best quality tea to the customers.
