An account of the largest Ceylon tea exporter
A brief about the Ceylon tea company
It is noteworthy that both Ceylon tea and the family of Akbar Brothers were destined to begin in Sri Lanka in
the same significant decade of 1860's. Such long, rich and invaluable family
experience in tea merchandising, prompted three brothers of the younger
generation, Abbas, Abid and Inayet to collectively take the initiative of
propelling the cherished family tradition to new heights. Accordingly, they
took leave of the parent company M. S. Hebthulabhoy & Co. in 1969 to form the company Akbar Brothers. Rapid growth in business
warranted this enthusiastic new company to be incorporated, and thus emerged
Akbar Brothers Limited in 1972. Consequently, 'Akbar' was acknowledged as the
flagship brand of finest quality
Ceylon
teas from
Sri Lanka
.
