Producer Profiles
Greenfield Bio Plantations (Pvt) Ltd.
We produce some of the finest teas whilst maintaining two other priorities besides exceptional organic tea: people and the environment. The tea estate is inspected annually by Control Union(The Netherlands).
Greenfield Teas are fragrant and sweet. The Northeast and Southwest monsoons add exceptional flavour, aroma and texture to these classic Uva teas. The Northeast monsoon winds travel across the Indian Ocean, picking up moisture from the Bay of Bengal and creating clouds that pour rain over the Uva Province as the clouds lift to go over the mountains. The Northeastern monsoons take place from December to early March when the surface high-pressure system is strongest. The Southwestern summer monsoons occur from June through September.
Quotable

My son, S. Srikantharaja was born and educated at the primary school on the estate. He then attended secondary school in the township in the eastern province. Thanks to the education loan we obtained from Fair Trade and our Joint Body, I can humbly say that our son has been accepted into a University. He is the first child to attend a University on our plantation and one of few from the province. We are grateful that Fair Trade has helped make it possible for my son to achieve educational heights. Thank you! ” K. Sivapragasm
