Imagine the journey of a former 'tea planter' from Assam, India—Vilayat—a seasoned veteran with nearly 15 years immersed in the global tea and coffee world, his craft refined at the iconic Starbucks. Now based in Canada, Vilayat has always carried a burning desire: to spotlight the extraordinary teas from the lush, fertile country of Ceylon (formerly Sri Lanka)—long overshadowed by more famous names.

This passion for elevating tea legacy found a powerful new dimension and in a moment of serendipity, together with entrepreneur and co-founder Simon, embarked on a bold partnership with Basilur Tea: a brand with a mission not just to serve tea, but to shatter boundaries, rewrite narratives, and uplift the communities that grow it. Today, that mission has expanded across oceans, forming a remarkable partnership with the legendary Basilur Tea of Ceylon introducing to Canadians. With its rich heritage, deep craftsmanship, and unmatched expertise in producing some of the world’s most refined teas, Basilur is more than a partner—it’s a kindred spirit. Together, we unite the powerful legacies of Ceylon and Canada, blending heritage with innovation to deliver a tea experience that’s rooted in purpose and elevated by passion.  At Basilur Tea Canada, we’re not just brewing beverages—we’re crafting a movement. A movement to defy convention, celebrate authenticity, and elevate our tea culture in Canada. 

In a moment of shared vision, and with the insight of co-founder and entrepreneur Simon, Basilur Tea embraced its mission — to redefine how the world experiences Ceylon tea.

Guided by a passion for authenticity and innovation, Simon has helped shape Basilur into a brand that honours tradition while introducing it to new generations of tea lovers. For us, tea is not just a product — it is a heritage to be preserved, a craft to be perfected, and a gift to be shared. Basilur continues to bring the unmatched essence of Sri Lanka’s finest teas to discerning palates across the globe, now including Canada. This is more than a brand; it is an invitation to experience the artistry, purity, and soul of Ceylon tea.
