Deavon

Deavon Tea is a Sri Lankan brand of 100% pure Ceylon tea that ties together the two things the island loves most, tea and cricket. It was started with the blessing of the Sri Lankan batsman T.M. Dilshan, so the packs show a cricket ball and bat on the tea fields and several boxes are signed "Dilshan's Cup of Tea". Every tea is grown and packed in Sri Lanka and carries the Ceylon Tea lion logo. Here is the range, shipped worldwide from Sri Lanka.

Iconic Single Region. One tin for each of six classic growing regions, 20 pyramid tea bags of whole-leaf black tea in each, so you can taste how altitude and climate change a Ceylon cup: Nuwara Eliya (the highest, light and fragrant), Dimbula (golden and mellow), Uva (aromatic and smooth), Udu Pussellawa (medium-bodied, a little tangy), Kandy (mid-grown, coppery and bold) and Ruhuna (low-grown in the south, robust).

Iconic Fruit, Herbs and Spice. Ceylon black tea with a fruit, herb or spice, 15 pyramid bags to a tin: Cinnamon, Lemon, Pomegranate, Soursop, Ginger and Mint. All of them make good iced tea.

Everyday teas. Dispenser cartons of 20 tea bags: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Ginger, Cinnamon, Lemon and Green Tea. The classic Pure Ceylon Black Tea in the black "Dilshan's Cup of Tea" box comes in 25, 50 and 100 tea bags.

Gifts. The cricket-themed Cricket Lover boxes hold individually wrapped tea bags, 40 in four teas or 80 in eight. The gold boxes gather the tins: the Single Origin Gift Set (all six regions), the Fruit Black Tea Gift Set (all six flavours) and the Complete Collection, all twelve tins in a two-drawer box.

For hotels and restaurants. Deavon also supplies individually enveloped Signature tea bags (including Jasmine Green, Chamomile and Ceylon Classic), in-room and meeting-room tea presenters, presentation tea chests and a leaf-tea display case, with afternoon high-tea, iced-tea and tea-cocktail menus.
