About Quest Ceylon

From our heart to your home

Quest Tea was born out of a shared love for tea – our personal and passionate connection to the elixir and our commitment to placing Sri Lanka in the world map for liquid gold.

In the heart of Ceylon, where mist-laden hills cradle the world’s most revered tea
gardens, a legacy brews. Quest Ceylon is the modern expression of this heritage, a
brand born from generations of devotion to the art, craft and culture of tea.

We transform the island’s most precious gift into an experience of timeless elegance,
celebrating the artistry and purity of the leaf at its peak.

A Pioneering Spirit
Our story begins with Don Charles Ladduwahetty, a visionary entrepreneur and the grandfather of our founder, Rohan Ladduwahetty. In the lush, rolling hills of southern Sri Lanka, Don Charles cultivated over 200 acres of fertile land and established the family’s first tea factory – planting the seeds of a legacy that would flourish for generations.
A Generational Passion
The art of tea cultivation became an inseparable part of the Laduwahetty family's heritage - a passion passed down through generations, embedding a deep respect for the leaf in their very DNA.
Mastery of the Craft
Founder Rohan Laduwahetty dedicated over three decades to the global tea trade, working with esteemed houses such as Van Rees – a leading global tea trading conglomerate. During this time, he gained unparalleled expertise in tea tasting, grading and blending, supplying some of the worlds renowned tea brands.
The Quest for More
After years spent perfecting tea for others, Rohan embarked on a new journey – to create a personal brand that transcends commerce and honours the true soul and story of pure Ceylon tea.
Showcasing Sri Lankan Excellence
Quest Ceylon was founded by Rohan, driven by a deep passion to elevate the image of Sri Lanka’s most iconic export, tea. More than just a beverage, tea is a symbol of our island’s rich heritage, craftmanship and natural beauty. With Quest Ceylon, Rohan set out to create a signature brand that celebrates a exceptional quality, purity and authenticity of Ceylon Tea – hand-picked and masterfully curated to deliver a truly premium experience to tea lovers around the world.

Our Founder

With over three decades of mastery in Ceylon tea, our Founder, Rohan Ladduwahetty, has devoted his life to mastering both the art and science of the leaf.

His journey began in 1985 at the prestigious Van Rees Group, where he mastered the fine arts of tea – Tasting, Valuing, and Blending, Packaging – along with the complexities of its global trade. After a distinguished career leading major export divisions and co-founding a company that supplied the world’s top private-label brands, Rohan was driven by a deeper calling: to create a brand of his own.

Quest is the culmination of this lifelong dedication. Launched in 2022, it stands as a personal promise to deliver unparalleled Ceylon Tea experience to discerning enthusiasts around the world.

We hope you join us in taking our story to the world.

So our tea story has just begun, and we are so pleased to share our knowledge of tea, the heritage of Ceylon tea, and the essence of Sri Lanka with you. We hope you join us in our adventures while feeling invigorated and relaxed after a warm cup of Quest Tea.
