SOURCING
Sri Lanka is usually synonymous with the game of cricket, sandy beaches, or invigorating Ceylon Tea. And most often it’s the Tea! Rightfully so, because in the world of Tea, we are the best! Not only is Sri Lanka considered the largest auction centre in the world but it’s also one of the oldest running auctions.
Praventure’s sourcing process begins a week in advance of the auctions. Our very own Tea tasters evaluate pre-auction samples sent in by reputed Tea brokers. Next, the choicest samples get flagged for selection at the auctions. The Teas that are selected and purchased at the auctions are then readied for our unique processes.
Blending
There’s an old saying that if you keep on doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, you’re probably borderline insane. NOT TRUE! Here at Praventure, we firmly believe, on the contrary, that practice makes perfect. And that’s why we’ve kept busy at producing masterful blends of Tea day in, day out, for the past twenty-something years. Add onto that an ensemble of state-of-the-art facilities and high-skilled human expertise and presto! We also thought it’d be worth mentioning that we are take technology seriously and feel it’s important to stay on top of things. We’ve invested in a modern vertical blender (i.e. tower blender) which gives us more efficiency in blending Teas than the traditional methods. The tower is part of a blending system that features dust extractors, vibro sifters which enables us to achieve uniform Tea particle sizes, and electromagnets to remove any metallic impurities.
Packaging
Ah, packaging! As trendy or as fastidious as it can get sometimes, it’s invariably handy and very much essential for a choice Tea product.
So what’s all the fuss about ‘packaging’ you ask? It acts as a shield, protecting Tea from the elements till the right time for it to find its way to your cup. And boy, don’t we have a lot to protect it from — air, light, dust, moisture, microbes, bad vibes, etc. We also think it’s super important to be able to steal that first glance as first impressions say a lot in the marketing world; which is why we at Praventure take our packaging very seriously. And it’s certainly a central process in the stream of value-added activities we excel in.
Customised Packaging
So you might have figured by now that Praventure is an export-exclusive operation producing and marketing our own brands internationally. Did you also know that our customised packaging business is constantly expanding as we deal with a growing number of foreign clientele? Well, now you do! Let us also state that, all in all, our grip on international exports presently spans across most quarters of the world, but this sure doesn’t mean that we’re done exploring — our goal is to become a borderless Tea exporter, in true globalised fashion. We’re an ambitious bunch. Wish us luck! And if you want to do business, get in touch with us – we would love to talk to you!
