Rooted in the fertile heartlands of Sri Lanka, Ceylon Cinnamon Export Holdings (Pvt) Ltd is a proud family-owned and women-led enterprise, built on generations of passion, tradition, and integrity.
Our journey begins in Madalagama Village, Kahawatta,Sri Lanka where cinnamon bushes grow naturally alongside tea and other treasured Ceylon crops. Enriched by fertile soil, mist-covered hills, and time-honored farming wisdom, this land shapes the purity, aroma, and character of everything we create.
The company is led by Mrs. Kalpana Thennakoon (Chief Executive Officer), whose vision and dedication guide the business forward, supported by Mr. Rohan Vitharana (Director & Secretary), ensuring strong governance and transparency.
Our Committed to Authenticity and Excellence is deeply inspired by late at 85 age our beloved father, Mr. B. V. Piyadasa, a legendary Sri Lankan tea farmer with over 60 years of experience. His lifelong devotion to tea cultivation and traditional methods laid the foundation for our commitment to preserving authentic handmade Ceylon tea varieties and natural agricultural practices.
At the heart of our family stands our loving mother, Mrs. A. K. G. Somawathi, whose care, wisdom, and hands-on involvement continue to guide our daily processes. Her dedication ensures that every product is crafted with patience, sincerity, and respect for nature.
As the owner and global marketer of the Village Cooking Ceylon brands, we bring together True Ceylon Cinnamon, premium Ceylon spices, and handmade Ceylon tea under one roof. Our Village Cooking Ceylon Handmade Tea Factory, owned and operated by Ceylon Cinnamon Export Holdings (Pvt) Ltd, produces tea using time-honored Sri Lankan traditional techniques that preserve authenticity and quality.
While we may not be the largest global supplier, we are deeply committed to delivering the finest and most authentic natural Ceylon products to our global customers — sourced with care, crafted with integrity, and rooted in Sri Lanka’s true heritage.
Today, we proudly serve international markets, exporting the pride of Sri Lanka through pure, natural, and world-class cinnamon, spices, and handmade tea—carrying forward a family legacy built on trust, tradition, and excellence.
