Brewing Kindness To The Community
As the nation battles with the spread of the delta variant of COVID19 within the country, the Empire Group has donated a BiPAP machine to the IDH hospital on the 12th of August 2021. This equipment will help people who are experiencing trouble breathing.
Over the last 21 years, our community has played a valuable role in propelling Empire to where it is today. As a responsible corporate operating in the tea industry, we are in a position to help our country at this time, and we are grateful to have come through on this occasion to meet our people’s healthcare requirements.
As much as we value our people, we have also made sure to stay true to our brand promise in catering high-quality products to all of our customers and partners. Our factories have been functioning throughout the pandemic, complying with all safety and health regulations to keep our company running, as the Tea export sector is at the forefront of the economic battle our country faces along with the health crisis.
As the country’s second-largest tea exporter, we believe it is our responsibility to help the country’s economy by ensuring that our production process runs seamlessly even during the pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, Empire has been actively involved and concerned in uplifting the livelihood of the community by providing job opportunities for many. Amidst the pandemic, all of our teams worked together to maintain a seamless and continuous flow of production, ensuring a steady supply of our products for all of our customers and partners across the world.
When you join hands with us, you know you are being a part of uplifting many lives!
We at Empire Group is committed to our Nations wellbeing and prosperity.
Today, we celebrate not just a milestone but a remarkable journey that showcases our shared vision, hard work, and unwavering dedication. As we mark Empire Teas’ 24th Anniversary, let’s take a moment to reflect on where it all began.
In 2000, with a small team of just 8 passionate individuals, Empire Teas was born. Our dream was to create something exceptional in the world of tea, and from these humble beginnings, we embarked on a journey of growth and transformation.
Today, we stand tall, ranked as the 2nd largest Ceylon Tea Exporter, with two state-of-the-art warehouses and cutting-edge machinery, producing premium teas under our own brands, Hyson, Thurson, and Tea Avenue. Our luxury cafe, Tea Avenue, boasts 7 locations across the island. Our idea is to franchise in Sri Lanka and abroad. With Empire Kenya in Mombasa and our brand Akina, we offer premium African teas, providing an authentic experience. Asvida, our Ceylon Spices brand, is set to be reintroduced as Ceylon Harvest. This journey would not have been possible without our remarkable team, past and present. Your dedication, resilience, and commitment have been nothing short of inspiring.
We are also profoundly grateful to our clients, consumers, and stakeholders. Your trust, support, and belief in our vision have been instrumental in our success. Thank you for standing by us through every challenge and triumph. Your partnership has truly made a difference.
Looking to the future, our focus remains on value-added products, embracing innovation, and maintaining our commitment to sustainability. As we adapt to new technologies and continue to push boundaries, teamwork and collaboration will be key to our success. As we celebrate today, let’s honor the past and embrace the future with enthusiasm and determination. Here’s to many more years of excellence, growth, and shared success. Thank you for your unwavering support.
Cheers to 24 years of Empire Teas and to many more!
