Use of advanced and modern machinery would not be the mere factor for the success of tea manufacturing. Instead, the best use inherent and basic tea science and technology would secure a better run. Thalangaha Tea Factory could be considered as one of the best examples for the above, which was able to obtain a rapid growth during recent months since it resumed its production under the Evergreen Management. Thalangaha is one of the oldest low country tea factories but was closed by the time it was leased out to Evergreen Group by Watawala Plantations PLC, a top ranking tea plantations company in Sri Lanka.

Therefore, the biggest challenge of Thalangaha factory was to boost up its manufacturing by capitalizing available resources, mainly the ‘decades old machinery’. Therefore, the precise use of basic tea technology was very effective in the revitalizing of the manufacturing process at Thalangaha tea factory. One very good example for this is the best use of natural ventilation for the manufacturing process. The location and positioning of the factory allows for an amplified natural air flow, which enhances natural withering of tea leaves while reducing the high cost of electrical energy. In addition, Thalangaha has shown a rapid growth by applying best manufacturing practices while upgrading the factory with adequate investments.

Similar to all other Evergreen member, Thalangaha also follows all Evergreen best standards in order to strengthen relationships with both of its green leaf suppliers and staff through customer support schemes and staff welfare schemes.

Importantly, after a long non-operative period, Thalangaha is ready to re-established its old but esteemed repute among all tea lovers by serving the best low grown tea to the world.
