Alwazah Tea Legacy

_

Alwazah Tea offers the same
age-old exquisite richness of 100%
Ceylon Tea but is especially picked
to satisfy the Arab palate. This ability to cater to
collective preferences is a primary focus for us
and has been a key to the growing popularity
of the brand. Alwazah Tea (Swan Brand) is
available in many countries across the world,
from Australia to the USA, and we are currently
concentrating on further expanding out presence
in the rest of the world.

 

Keeping in line with our commitment to cater to varying preferences, we offer our Tea in different varieties, all ready for consumption.  
The Royal Alwazah Premium range consists of Teabags and the Alwazah Long Leaf Black Tea and Pure Ceylon Green Tea with Natural Jasmine, packed in canisters. Our packaging adheres to all regulations including the recent call for the stoppage of teabags with staples, in response to which we have introduced the Royal Alwazah Premium range with Staple-Free Teabags.    

Tea is grown in several districts in Sri Lanka,
which is the world’s largest exporter
of Tea. The Tea plantation areas cover some
200,000 hectares and range in elevation from near sea level to over 2,000 meters above
sea level. After harvesting, these Tea are
processed at over 700 factories situated at
various elevations. These factories produce
six distinctive types of Tea depending on their
geographical location and climatic conditions.
These areas producen a special type
of Tea that is sold under the Alwazah or
Swan Brand. The factories that produce Teas
suitable for the Alwazah Brand are generally
situated at an elevation of not more than 600
meters above sea level.

 

The Tea in all Alwazah packs is manufactured within hours of harvesting and packed only a few days after manufacture. Therefore, Alwazah Tea is garden fresh, thus retaining the original quality, Our skilled Tea Tasters examine and analyse samples of approximately 7,000 different lots of Tea which are produced each week to obtain those which are suitable for the Alwazah Brand.
Our Tea tasting and blending staff have mostly joined us just after completing their education and have been specially trained over the years to distinguish the different characteristics of each individual Tea. Their main task is to select Teas suitable for packing under the Alwazah Tea Brand and to ensure that every pack of Alwazah Tea maintains the identical taste and quality. Finally, all blends of Alwazah Tea are personally approved by our Master Blender prior to packaging.
Alwazah Brand Tea was launched originally in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, with sales mainly concentrated in the West Bank area. Unfortunately the 1967 War saw these areas occupied which resulted in the cessation of business. However, George Payne & Co. (Ceylon) Ltd. (now known as Finlay Tea Solutions Colombo (Pvt) Ltd.), looked for new markets, and Phoenix-like, Alwazah Tea has now established itself across the Arab world and in countries with ethnic Arabic communities. Alwazah Tea is now sold from East to West - from Australia to the United States of America, and is enjoyed by millions of people throughout the world.  
Alwazah Tea’s popularity is mainly based on the fact that it is a blend of Ceylon Tea especially chosen to suit the Arab palate. These Teas are chosen from those grown on the gentle slopes of the South and South-west areas of Sri Lanka where rainfall is plentiful and where the climate lends itself to the production of these quality Teas. These Teas are carefully chosen and subjected to the most stringent quality tests before being packed and exported under the Alwazah Brand.
