Raised on the island of Sri Lanka, where tea is woven into
the fabric
of daily life, Ashok Dias developed a deep respect for the leaf — rooted in a third-generation
lineage of
tea merchants and farmers.
Bringing this ancestral mastery to Melbourne twenty-two
years
ago, he founded Tea Drop to reconnect the modern drinker with the quiet, soulful artistry of the
tea garden.
This anniversary collection is that mission, distilled.
Twenty-two years on, nothing has changed at the
root. Every
leaf we source is handpicked at exactly the right moment, grown in gardens that care for
their land and
their people, and blended in small batches by our master tea maker. From misty Sri Lankan
highlands to
your morning cup in Melbourne, the chain of craft remains unbroken.
As a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, we look
after the
hands that pick the tea just as much as the hands that sip it. We choose gardens that care
for their land
and their people, so every brew carries a lighter footprint.
This anniversary collection is the expression of
that belief.
Twenty-two years of devotion, distilled into six blends. Chosen by the people who live this
ritual every
day. For you.
