Two Amis and an Empty Teacup: How Ceywoods Began

tiny bit of gossip about how two eccentric friends decided to disrupt the spice world.

People often ask us, “Dearest Ceywoods, how did this all begin?” Well, it did start in a corporate boardroom. It started on a rainy afternoon in Colombo, Sri Lanka. over two cups of utterly dreadful, watery tea.

We looked at each other and said, “This is a tragedy! We live in Sri Lanka, the land of glorious soil, magnificent spices, and legendary tea estates. Why are we drinking something that tastes like cardboard?”

We packed our bags, hopped into a rickety vehicle, and went straight to the source. We met the artisans, the multi-generational farmers, and the passionate pluckers. We realized that the world deserved a premium brand that treated these ingredients like fine wines.

Two friends, one massive passion, and zero regrets. Welcome to our dream.
