"Preserving Sri Lanka's Spice Legacy for the World"
Ceylon Parampara is a family-owned enterprise born from a deep passion for preserving and sharing Sri Lanka's extraordinary spice legacy. For centuries, the island known as Ceylon has been celebrated as the world's spice garden—a land where cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, and cloves grow in abundance, each blessed with flavors found nowhere else on earth.
We are more than spice traders; we are guardians of tradition. Our family and dedicated team work hand-in-hand with local farmers and communities across Sri Lanka, honoring time-tested cultivation and processing methods passed down through generations. From the delicate hand-rolling of true Ceylon cinnamon quills to the careful sun-drying of premium black pepper, every product we create carries the authentic essence of our island home.
At Ceylon Parampara—which means "Sri Lankan Legacy"—we bridge the ancient and the modern. While we stay true to traditional recipes and artisanal techniques, we combine them with international quality standards and state-of-the-art facilities to deliver premium spices that meet the expectations of today's global markets. Our commitment extends beyond quality products to the people who make them possible: the smallholder farmers, the skilled workers, and the communities we're proud to support and empower.
From our home in Colombo to kitchens and industries around the world, we invite you to experience the true flavors of Sri Lanka—authentic, aromatic, and steeped in centuries of culinary excellence
Our Story
Ceylon Parampara was founded by a team of passionate professionals who share a common vision: to celebrate and preserve the rich culinary heritage of Sri Lanka while empowering the communities that make it possible. Our founders bring diverse expertise—from government leadership in spice marketing and nutrition science to international business and media—united by a deep commitment to showcasing the extraordinary quality of Ceylon spices to the world.
Sri Lanka's identity as a spice island stretches back millennia. Ancient traders crossed oceans seeking our cinnamon, pepper, and cardamom—spices so prized they shaped global trade routes and inspired exploration. Today, Sri Lanka remains the custodian of the world's finest spices, producing an remarkable 85% of all true cinnamon globally. This isn't just commerce; it's our heritage, our pride, and our responsibility to protect.
At Ceylon Parampara, we understand that authentic flavor begins long before spices reach the grinding mill. It starts in the soil, in the careful hands of farmers who tend their crops with generations of inherited knowledge. Over 70% of Sri Lanka's spice production comes from smallholdings and home gardens—family farms where traditional methods are still practiced with dedication and skill. We work directly with these farming communities and local cooperatives, ensuring fair partnerships that honor their expertise while providing sustainable livelihoods.
Our approach bridges two worlds: the timeless wisdom of traditional spice processing and the rigorous demands of modern food safety and quality standards. We've invested in state-of-the-art facilities with international certifications—ISO/FSSC-22000/2018, HACCP, GMP, and USA-FDA approval—while preserving the artisanal techniques that give Ceylon spices their unmatched character. When you see our hand-rolled cinnamon quills or smell our traditionally roasted curry powders, you're experiencing centuries of craft validated by today's highest quality benchmarks.
Every product that bears the Ceylon Parampara name represents a promise: authentic ingredients, ethical sourcing, meticulous quality control, and a genuine connection to the land and people of Sri Lanka. We're not just exporting spices; we're sharing a legacy.
