For more than 20 years, we have exerted great efforts to produce labor-friendly and nature-friendly black tea in Sri Lanka. The dream became a reality when Ahinsa Tea was originally produced about six years ago in a small estate in the southern part of Sri Lanka.
It was perhaps the first time manually-produced organic black tea was introduced to the world. In Sanskrit, 'Ahinsa' means non-violent and the tea is produced with the most benevolent and fullest kindness to all -- human beings, animals and plants.
It took a while for them to organize required capital, land, resources and technical know-how to convert this manually produced organic black tea into commercial venture. Finally a new era was born when the Nilmini Estate (Pvt.) Ltd., Ihala Millawa, Morawaka, Sri Lanka was formed and started producing Ahinsa Tea in a large scale. Today, the Nilmini Estate produces a wide variety of organic teas to your specific requirements.
There are six major sub-brands of tea produced under the main brand name 'Ahinsa Tea'.
They are:
The sixth one is the Ahinsa Tea bags. Aside from tea bags, we also manually produce all five major sub-brands if a customer asks for such specifications.

The Estate is also currently experimenting to produce organic green tea. The Nilmini Estate also has a large number of medicinal plants and it is only a simple request away if you wish to obtain various types of herbal products with medicinal values from us. All these teas -- black or green OR factory processed or manually produced -- are produced to meet specific characteristics of Ahinsa under the highest quality standards of pure organic tea.
When you drink Ahinsa Tea, we recommend not rushing it. If you do not have the time to sit and drink and enjoy it, please wait until you get another opportunity. All teas are blended with such spiritual and psychological expectations. Think about love, kindness, non-violent nature and spiritual values. We do hope you will enjoy not only the physical brisk taste of Ahinsa Tea but also the spiritual reawakening all at once, in every bit of it, always.

Such reawakening made us think of a different way to produce tea--the largest export crop of Sri Lanka.
