Factories owned and managed by Kahawatte Plantations PLC, reputed for producing highest quality medium grown orthodox teas, are recognised for their consistency and are continuously sought after by the buyers at weekly Colombo tea auctions.
At this week’s tea auctions, three factories established new all time record prices surpassing the previous records established by them in the recent past. This is no doubt an example for others to follow as quality and consistency is always well rewarded.

Queensbury Mark established an all-time record price of Rs. 650 per kg for a Western High Grown FF1 grade. This record price surpassed the record established by them at last week’s tea auctions.
