Gulf buyers most often order pure Ceylon tea and true Ceylon cinnamon, followed by black pepper, cloves, turmeric, ginger, hibiscus and butterfly pea flowers. Each product page lists the grades, forms and packing available.

1. Ceylon tea: bright, full-bodied black tea grades with a beautiful amber colour, perfect for karak chai, sulaimani and everyday tea.
2. Ceylon cinnamon: sweet, delicate quills, cut sticks and fine powder of true cinnamon, the species Kew’s Plants of the World Online lists as Cinnamomum verum. Loved in kabsa, machboos, spiced tea and desserts.
3. Whole and ground spices: black pepper, white pepper, cloves, nutmeg, mace, turmeric and ginger for baharat, rice dishes, grills and spice blends.
4. Hibiscus (karkadeh): deep ruby flowers and powder for refreshing hot and iced karkadeh, a Ramadan favourite.
5. Butterfly pea flowers: whole flowers and powder that brew a vivid natural blue and turn purple with lemon, popular in Dubai cafés for blue tea, lattes and mocktails.
6. Flours and fruit powders: green banana flour and tropical fruit powders such as mango and pineapple for bakeries, juice bars and dessert brands.

Gulf businesses use our tea and spices in tea packing and distribution, spice trading and blending, hotel and restaurant kitchens, cafés and karak tea outlets, bakeries and sweet shops, Ramadan and Eid ranges, and private-label retail packs. One order can combine several products, which suits distributors supplying a full range.

• Tea packers and distributors: pure Ceylon black tea in bulk for loose-leaf packs, tea bags and own-brand tins.
• Spice traders and blenders: Ceylon cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, turmeric and ginger for baharat, kabsa spice, machboos spice and biryani masala.
• Hotels, restaurants and caterers: whole and ground spices for rice dishes, grills, curries and buffets, plus Ceylon tea for breakfast and afternoon service.
• Cafés and karak tea outlets: strong Ceylon tea and cinnamon for karak chai, butterfly pea for blue tea and mocktails, and hibiscus for iced karkadeh.
• Bakeries and sweet shops: cinnamon and nutmeg for luqaimat, ma’amoul, cinnamon rolls and festive sweets.
• Private label: your brand and pack size, made through our private label and contract manufacturing service.

Ceylon tea and spices are part of daily life across the Gulf, from karak chai stops in Dubai and Doha to family kabsa in Riyadh and the historic spice souks of Deira.

• Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah: the spice souk in Deira has traded cinnamon, pepper and cloves for generations, and Dubai’s ports supply distributors across the region. Karak chai with Ceylon tea is enjoyed everywhere, from roadside cafeterias to luxury hotels.
• Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam: kabsa, mandi and spiced Arabic coffee bring families together, with cinnamon, black pepper and cloves at the heart of the flavour.
• Doha, Kuwait, Muscat and Manama: machboos, spiced tea and sweet luqaimat are part of everyday hospitality, especially during Ramadan and Eid.
• Across the region: large South Asian communities love Ceylon tea and spice-rich cooking, from biryani to masala chai, so supermarkets, restaurants and distributors keep a strong demand for Sri Lankan origin.
