What Makes It Special
The Founders' Collection brings together three teas that capture the character and spirit behind Lakdiva.
From the bold, unmistakable character of BOP Ceylon Black Tea, to the refined citrus notes of Earl Grey, and our distinctive Extra Special blend, this collection brings together three different ways of experiencing Ceylon tea.
Each tea represents a different side of Lakdiva - heritage, refinement and individuality.
More than a selection of teas, the Founders' Collection is a celebration of where we began: with a passion for authentic Ceylon tea and a desire to present it in our own way.
Three teas. Three expressions. One Lakdiva story.

A Collection With a Beginning
Every brand has a starting point.
For Lakdiva, it began with a simple appreciation for Ceylon tea - its character, its heritage and the people behind every cup.
The Founders' Collection brings together three teas that reflect that beginning: one rooted in tradition, one shaped by refinement, and one created with the Lakdiva identity.
This is where the Lakdiva story begins.
