CULTIVATION

Rising up to the honourable responsibility of caring for our magnificent green paradises, we make sure that our cultivation and production methods preserve and flourish their beauty, and at the same time, allow us to share as much of their natural bounties with the world as we possibly can. This means generous shade planting, intact drainage systems, retention of pruning, and balanced manuring.

This also means forecasting and counteracting the drastic effects of climate change, and how rising temperature might affect our crops and water supply. Our continuous efforts are generously paying off with a yield of 11 million kg of quality tea in 2019, compared to 9 million kg in 2017, and 10 million kg in 2018.

INNOVATION

With close to 200 years in the tea industry, we have come to fully recognise and embrace the responsibility bestowed upon us by our role as pioneers and innovators.

Neither our business objectives nor our innovation goals stop at increasing yield and improving quality. As significantly, we strive to ensure the wellbeing of our farmers and their families.

Working towards that, one of our most recent endeavours was introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Smart Drones to our plantation process.

These technologies closely monitor our crops for pest attacks and weed invasions, and deliver fertilizers and pesticides in a safer, more efficient manner, ultimately making sure that our farmers are spared for safer and more delicate tasks.
