Watawala Ayur Tea served at vaccination centres to support COVID-19 prevention drive

Watawala Tea is supporting medical and security services teams, and the public waiting to get vaccinated at over 100 centres across the country, by serving immunity boosting cups of Watawala Ayur Tea throughout the day.

Packed with Ayurvedic immune-boosting herbs such as ginger, coriander, cinnamon and licorice, Watawala Ayur Tea is accredited by the Department of Ayurveda, Sri Lanka, the company said in a media release.

"Ayurveda Medicine has recommended ingredients such as ginger, coriander, cinnamon and licorice for centuries to boost immunity. Watawala Ayur Tea is a wonderful mix of these valuable ingredients, and can be consumed every day to strengthen the immune system, particularly during this difficult period in time when good health can't be taken for granted," Ayurvedic Consultant Dr. Nisal Jayawardena stated.

All operations conducted in the preparation and distribution of the tea took place under stringent guidelines overseen by the Ministry of Health and local PHIs, as well as with the support of the Sri Lankan Army and Police stationed at each location.

 "As a Ceylon tea brand chosen time and time again by Sri Lankans across the island, we extend our fullest support to the nation as it fights back to mitigate the impacts of the global pandemic. Watawala Ayur Tea is an immune boosting beverage crafted to offer comfort and health benefits, and we trust that these cups provided a much needed source of energy and hydration at these intense vaccination drives as well as to those restricted to quarantine centres,” said Sunshine Consumer Lanka Ltd Chief Executive Officer Surith Perera.

Watawala Tea also made a donation of Watawala Ayur Tea products for the consumption of individuals and staff placed in quarantine centres located around the country. The company's contribution to these quarantine centres was spearheaded by Major General Hemantha Bandara Wanni Security Force Commander and Colonel of the Regiment Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment.
