About Us
At Nostos Brands, everything we do begins with heritage, passion, and the pursuit of excellence in tea.
My story with tea began long before Capital Teas was ever founded. I am a fifth-generation tea merchant, where my family has cultivated, traded, and shared the world’s finest teas for over a century in Sri Lanka. Tea isn’t just a business for me—it’s part of my identity, my culture, and my family’s legacy.
Years ago, I founded Capital Teas to bring that heritage to a wider audience and to create blends that inspired connection and discovery. Over time, however, the company passed through other hands and suffered years of mismanagement that took it far from the vision it was built on.
Today, through Nostos Brands, I have proudly regained ownership of Capital Teas. The name Nostos means “homecoming,” and that is exactly what this moment represents—a return to our roots. We are bringing back the quality, creativity, and care that defined Capital Teas from the beginning, while reimagining it for a new generation of tea drinkers.
