While welcoming the New Year with multi religious observances the owners and management of Lumbini Tea Estate and Tea Factory Deniyaya fulfilled their first CSR for the year by providing the annual stationary requirements of all school going kids of their staff, out growers and green leaf suppliers.

Lumbini Tea Estate and Factory situated in the picturesque Lumbini Tea Valley at Kolawenigama, Deniyaya bordering the world heritage Sinharaja Rain Forest Reserve produces a wide range of award winning ‘Ceylon Tea’ exported under the ‘Lumbini’ and ‘Dalu’ brands. 

‘Lumbini’ teas are unblended and are one estate and one origin with a unique flavour gained from the ozone rich atmospheric conditions of the Lumbini Valley.

Dayapala Jayawardena who founded Lumbini in 1976 attended the religious ceremonies while Managing Director and CEO of Lumbini Chaminda Jayawardena joined his staff to commence work for 2021 by assisting to pick the first tea buds.
