Ceylon Tea Party celebrations with Amaya Resorts

Sri Lanka celebrated 150 years of Ceylon Tea on 5 July and to mark this grand occasion the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the tea industry hosted a tea party at 5 p.m. in every time zone creating a 24 hour chain across the world. 

Amaya Resorts and Spas too participated in this Ceylon Tea Party and was more than happy to show its appreciation for the tea that has made its stamp around the world and satisfied so many tea lovers and given the country the title of producing the best tea. The resorts – Amaya Beach, Amaya Lake, Amaya Hunas Falls, Amaya Hills and Amaya Langdale, hosted a High Tea at each of their resorts 

To mark this grand occasion Maliban Biscuits made two special biscuits, Earl Grey and Ginger biscuits with 150 years imprinted on it, which were served to the guests. Along with these biscuits, each resort served its version of High Tea with some mouth-watering finger foods and cakes pairing it with a perfect cup of Ceylon tea. 

A neatly and comical dance act featuring the some of the Amaya Hills team also entertained guests with a dance act of a tea planter and the tea pluckers choreographed and performed by the staff. A typical and local experience of having ‘kadey the’ was served at Amaya Beach. Amaya Langdale took the Ceylon Tea Party right up to its roots. A lovely and very intimate high tea was organised at a tea hill very close to the resort. And what better place to serve and celebrate a tea that is world famous than in the place where it is birthed.

The guests from each and every Amaya Resort truly had a wonderful time and even got a little history lesson as to why our tea is considered the best in the world.
