Welcome to ManiKitchen Tea Shop

My Achi Amma (Grandma) had a deep knowledge of Ayurvedic and Hela Osu indigenous Sri Lankan healing medicine. She used many herbal remedies, traditional ingredients, and natural resources to heal many people. She always told me, “It takes time to boost immunization in your body. There is not any magical word or works to do it within one or two days. Some people think tablets or pills will help, but those often cause harmful side effects”
I remember my Ammee (Mom) would make a steaming glass of Herbal Tea, Herbal Soup, or Kola Kenda (Leaf Porridge). She always told me, “This glass of secret medicine gives you brainpower, cools your body, cures allergic symptoms, energizes your life” and very importantly “boosts immunity to protect against bacteria, viruses and any other infections”
People all over the world know the importance of a strong immune system, especially now with the spread of COVID-19 infecting millions. A strong immune system, which our unique teas support, will protect you and your loved ones. How tender and precious is life! 

My Loving Family

Fortunately, over many generations my family refined the art of combining ancient Sri Lankan herbal medicine with infused Ceylon teas made famous by the British Empire. Now we have decided to share these incredible flavors with people all over the world. We offer a novel collection of teas infused with rare tastes and incredible health benefits; they can also satisfy your craving for food, or enhance its enjoyment
We hope you will enjoy our tea as much we do.
Stay healthy and live longer. ManiKitchen 2Health 4Life.
