P.M.David Silva & Sons was established in 1945 during the Plantation Raj in Ceylon’s world famous Dimbula Valley. The company was founded on Brunswick Estate in the fertile Maskeliya Valley as a small independent Tea Shop for tea plantation workers to gather, relax and enjoy a quality cup of tea. The business and the family soon expanded to become a specialist Tea Transporter and Plantation Supplier. Today, three generations on, they remain a family company bringing the world’s most sought-after teas that are hand plucked and ethically sourced from the people and estates they work with.  planters’ breakfast Strong and full-bodied. Before English breakfast, early tea planters enjoyed the full-bodied flavours of Planter’s Breakfast in Ceylon. The perfect conditions for creating that rich full taste are found in the Dimbula valley. This is where the award-winning Planters’ Breakfast is handpicked.

PLANTERS’ EARL GREY 

The most aristocratic of teas is infused with the unmistakable aroma of bergamot. To balance the citrus, you need a bold tea. The Earl Grey is handpicked and infused with a drop of natural bergamot oil.   PLANTERS’ GREEN  Grown on the high peaks and hand-plucked to fully satisfy the green tea connoisseur. The large leaf tea is curled and pan heated to produce a light mellow brew with a delicate flavour and aroma, or as an after- dinner drink.   SILVER TIPS  A rarity among the distinctive white teas. Our Silver Tips are handpicked before sunrise on Brunswick estate, Maskeliya. It takes almost five kilos of handpicked buds to produce one kilo of this very special tea.
