Sri Lanka tea sees encouraging demand and price stability amid global interest

The Colombo Tea Auction, a cornerstone of Sri Lanka's economy, showcased resilience and promising trends in its May 7, 2025, trading session, as reported by Forbes & Walker Tea Brokers. Despite challenges posed by fluctuating tea quality, the market recorded stable pricing, renewed demand from key international buyers, and notable appreciation in select categories, signaling cautious optimism for stakeholders.

A surge in activity from shippers to Japan, China, and South Africa injected vitality into the auction, reflecting diversified demand for Ceylon Tea.

Traditional markets like the UK remained selective, while buyers from the CIS and Middle East regions engaged actively at competitive price points. This broadening geographic interest underscores Colombo's enduring appeal as a global tea hub.
