About us
Since our advent in 1977 as a tea company, Stassen has evolved into a diversified group complete with a portfolio that spans a broad spectrum of ventures.
From the time of Stassen Exports inception our tea enterprise has burgeoned with a versatile product range exported to over 80 countries across five continents as bulk, tea bags, packeted tea, and specialty packs. In striving for excellence the accomplishments along the way remain a testament to our success.
Stassen pioneered the commercially viable production of Green tea in Sri Lanka as well as the manufacture of Organic Black, Organic Green and Organic handmade teas.
Being awarded the Presidential Export Award for five consecutive years is an affirmation of our uncompromising efforts.
These accomplishments are complemented by other pioneering ventures such as being the first Sri Lankan producer certified by Demeter (Germany) for engendering Biodynamic agricultural practices. Adopting state-of-the-art and eco-friendly production methodologies has further elevated Stassen Tea to stand out in an age-old global industry.
It was as early as in 1982 that we, Stassen Exports, gained recognition amongst industry giants, earning our place as the fifth largest exporter of quality tea from Sri Lanka.
Six years later we earned distinction as the country’s leading exporter. In 1987, through Stassen Natural Foods, we proudly established the world’s first internationally certified organic tea garden, thereby becoming the first manufacturer of certified organic tea in the world. With an annual production of 200 tonnes, we are one of the largest organic tea producers in the world.
Our Stassen branded tea is available in our newly designed and eye-catching package, and include traditional pure Ceylon black tea, green tea, flavoured tea, herbal infusions, organic tea and ready to drink iced tea variants.
Luxury gift packs and purpose built caddies are marketed for a variety of tea. Corporate clients can also take the opportunity to create their own private label gift packs or custom made packages according to their individual requirements.
Across the globe, Stassen tea is now served in a number of leading hotel chains, restaurants, exclusive tea boutiques and cafes. We are committed to assisting our food service and Horeca clientele in creating an exceptional pure Ceylon tea experience for their discerning guests. Accordingly, we aim to create bespoke blends and packaging to suit the individual needs of this segment.
Through sustained innovation and continuous investments in all aspects of the trade has helped us at Stassens to mark our position as a trailblazer in the industry. Stassen looks back at its heritage with greater determination to improve existing products and introduce those that are desired by a steadfast clientele in this everchanging global environment.
Forty years on and continuing, we still remain as one of the leading exporters of Pure Ceylon tea to the world market, whilst we continue to build a remarkable and privileged association with premium quality Pure Ceylon Tea that has won the trust and acceptance of our loyal customer base.
