At the Colombo Tea Auction of 2/3 October an invoice of Mattakelle BOPF selling under the Western High Grown category realised an All Time Record price of Rs. 1,000 per kg. This tea was purchased by New Highland Tea Stores.
Mattakelle Estate has been recognised on many occasions, both nationally and internationally for their commitment to quality. Teas sold under this mark continually achieve top prices at the public auction for a wide range of Orthodox Black tea grades.
Mattakelle is also the current record holder for the Western High Grown D1 category and here again the teas were bought by New Highland Tea stores.
The Estate is part of Talawakelle Tea Estates PLC, a subsidiary of Hayleys Group of companies.
These teas were successfully marketed by Asia Siyaka Commodities PLC.
