The Art of Handpicking Tea: Why It Matters

Tea isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual, a culture, and a way of life. At New Giragama Tea, we take pride in crafting premium Ceylon tea through time-honored methods, and it all begins with the art of handpicking.

Unlike mechanical harvesting, which often damages the delicate tea leaves, handpicking allows for precision and care. Our skilled tea pluckers, often with years of experience, carefully select the top two leaves and a bud from each plant. This ensures the highest quality leaves are chosen, as these contain the perfect balance of flavor, aroma, and nutrients.

The process requires patience, skill, and an eye for detail. Each leaf must be inspected to ensure it meets our high standards. Once plucked, the leaves are quickly transported to the factory for processing to preserve their freshness and unique characteristics.

Handpicking also plays a significant role in maintaining the health of the tea plant. By selectively harvesting only what’s needed, the plant is allowed to regenerate naturally, ensuring sustainable cultivation practices.

So, the next time you sip on a cup of New Giragama Tea, remember the care and craftsmanship that went into creating it. From our hands to yours, every sip is a celebration of tradition, quality, and the rich heritage of Sri Lanka’s tea culture.
