Watawala Tea Ceylon provides Ceylon tea to island-wide quarantine centres

Watawala Tea Ceylon Ltd, recently commenced the donation of Ceylon tea for the consumption of individuals and staff placed in quarantine centres located around the country in the war against COVID-19. 
The company’s contribution, which comprised Zesta tea bags and Watawala Haritha tea bags, to be distributed among quarantine centres was handed over to Major K.G.L.R.N. Karunathilaka and Brigadier T.H. Draheem recently at the Sri Lanka Army Supply Depot in Kelaniya by Watawala Tea Ceylon Ltd General Manager – Marketing Farman Nizar. 
WTCL’s latest initiative is a concerted attempt to support both the members of public and the hard-working staff stationed at these centres, as they fight to curb the spread of this pandemic, the company said in a media release.
The purpose of providing tea bags was to enable the inmates of the centres as well as medical staff to make their own cups of tea when they require. This will complement the tea that is provided by the centres. 
“We are deeply committed to extending our fullest support to the nation during this difficult period in time. We trust that our pledge of tea, which is often synonymous with comfort and health among our people, will provide a much-needed source of happiness, hydration and relief as they adjust to life within the confines of these centres.,” Watawala Tea Ceylon Ltd Chief Executive Officer Surith Perera stated.
The initiative by Watawala Tea Ceylon to provide more cups of tea to the inmates of the quarantine centres will help the inmates to fight COVID -19 by acting as a potential immune booster to fight against the virus when confronted. The company remains deeply committed to helping its customers and the broader community deal with the unprecedented medical and economic crisis caused by COVID-19, the release said.
