Sri Lankan Teatime Favourites: What to Enjoy with Your Cup

In Sri Lanka, teatime is more than a drink. It's a moment to pause, to share and to catch up. And of course, a good cup of tea is always better with something by its side.

Hakuru (jaggery)

The classic. A small bite of kithul or coconut jaggery with a cup of pure kahata is a much-loved Sri Lankan tradition. The rich sweetness of jaggery pairs beautifully with the bold taste of the tea.

Kavum

Golden, sweet and a favourite during Avurudu, kavum and its knotted cousin, konda kavum, are perfect with a strong cup.

Kokis

Light, crispy and lightly salted, kokis brings a lovely crunch to tea time.

Biscuits

Simple, everyday and always in the cupboard. Few things beat dipping a biscuit into a hot cup of tea.

Isso wade and ulundu wade

For those who prefer something savoury, a crispy wade with a little spice is a perfect match for a sweet cup of plain tea.

The perfect partner

Whatever your favourite, a bold, pure cup of Ranrasa balances sweet and savoury treats perfectly. Brew it strong, sweeten it to your liking, and enjoy the moment.
