Q : TELL US ABOUT MIRACLE TEA. HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?

Miracle Tea started with a simple goal: to share the rich heritage of Sri Lankan tea with the world. I was born in Sri Lanka, surrounded by the culture of tea, and I saw an opportunity to combine that tradition with modern quality standards and branding. That is how Miracle Tea began.

Q : WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE MIDDLE EAST AS A TARGET MARKET?

The Middle East has a strong tea-drinking culture. People here truly appreciate quality, flavor, and authenticity. I believed there was a gap in the market for a premium, health-focused tea brand with genuine Sri Lankan roots. It was the perfect match, and the response has been very positive.

Q : WAS IT CHALLENGING TO ENTER SUCH A COMPETITIVE MARKET?

Absolutely. The region is competitive, and preferences vary across countries. We had to be strategic. We localized our packaging, partnered with trusted distributors, and participated in major food expos across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait. It took time, but step by step, we built trust and brand recognition.

Q : WHAT MAKES MIRACLE TEA STAND OUT FROM OTHER BRANDS?

Our strength lies in authenticity and quality. We source directly from the best estates in Sri Lanka, ensure strict quality control, and maintain a close connection to our supply chain. We also focus on clean, modern branding that appeals to today’s consumer while respecting tradition.

Q : HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU IN THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS?

I am very involved. I oversee product development, work with our suppliers, and stay in close contact with our partners in the Middle East. That personal connection has been important to our growth.

Q : IS SUSTAINABILITY PART OF YOUR BUSINESS MODEL?

Yes, definitely. We follow fair-trade practices, support ethical labor, and contribute to community development in Sri Lanka’s tea-growing regions. Consumers in the Middle East value knowing that their products come from responsible and ethical sources.

Q : WHAT’S NEXT FOR MIRACLE TEA?

We are working on expanding our product line. Wellness teas, herbal infusions, and ready-to-drink formats are all in development. Our goal is to become a household name in tea, not just in the Middle East, but globally.

Q : ANY ADVICE FOR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS?

Absolutely. Aspiring entrepreneurs should begin with a strong, clear vision and stay deeply involved in every aspect of their venture. Prioritize quality in your product or service, and never cut corners, as your reputation depends on it. Stay true to your values, even when faced with challenges. Entrepreneurship is rarely easy, but persistence, passion, and integrity are key. Believe in your mission, learn from failures, and keep pushing forward. Success follows those who remain dedicated and consistent.
