Regency Teas

For well over a century, Sri Lanka has been synonymous for producing the world’s finest teas. Its rich taste, crisp aroma and therapeutic qualities give Sri Lankan Tea a distinctive advantage over other origins…

We at Regency Teas take pride in presenting this wonder beverage to our customers, in breathtaking form, fit for “Aristocracy”! Established in 1997 by a dynamic group of professionals who had already established themselves in the Sri Lankan tea & plantation industry, Regency Teas quickly asserted itself as a packer and exporter of the finest quality teas. Since inception, the company has been packing tea under the core brand ‘Hyleys’ which is still the company’s flagship brand. The wide range of teas under the Hyleys umbrella includes; traditional and classic black & green tea as well as specialty blends with flavours, additives and herbs. We have recently launched several functional & end-user benefit teas consisting of 100% natural ingredients in stride with latest global consumer trends. These innovative products have special packaging & unique customer appeal, adding further value to “taste & health” aspects. Regency Teas export to over 25 countries and the strongest outreach is in Russia, the CIS and Eastern Europe. The marketing and distribution activity of all Hyleys products within this region is handled by our partner ‘Hyleys Tea Company Russia’ based in Moscow. The company’s latest marketing drive in North America and Canada have also shown promising results with excellent customer feedback. Hyleys is now a true Global brand with products available in major supermarket chains such as Metro, Real, Auchan, Billa, Novus, Spar in Ukraine, Continent, Auchan, Lenta in Russia, Maxima, Beta, Prisma in the Baltic’s and Winner’s, Loblaw’s, and Home Sense in Canada. On the manufacturing front, the company operates a production plant of 70,000 sqft with modern infrastructure, tea packaging machinery and highly skilled staff in close proximity to Colombo. With a production output of 1.9 million tea bags per day, Regency Teas have consistently remained within the 10 largest exporters of tea bags for the past several years. Annually, the factory produces 3500 metric tons of tea in value added from under strict Food Safety Management Systems and guidelines.
