Tasseoz: The Story in a Cup
The Forgotten Beginning
Long before the world spoke of tea, Sri Lanka’s spices were already travelling across seas. For more than 3,000 years, cinnamon, cardamom, and pepper grown on this fertile island were treasures that kings desired and empires fought to control. These spices were not just flavor—they were medicine, ritual, and wealth itself
Spices That Moved Empires
In Egypt, Ceylon cinnamon was used in sacred embalming rituals. In Rome, it perfumed the halls of emperors and healed their ailments. The Hebrew Bible itself describes cinnamon as a holy incense. From Mesopotamian traders to Phoenician merchants, Sri Lanka’s spices became silent witnesses to history, stirring ambition and wonder across civilizations.
The Road Before the Road
Long before the Silk Road became a legend, hidden spice routes connected Sri Lanka to the world. Caravans carried its cinnamon across deserts, ships sailed its cardamom across seas. These routes carried more than goods—they carried stories, healing, and a sense of magic that defined the early trade of humanity.
The Legacy Buried in Time
Centuries later, the British planted tea and branded it “Ceylon Tea.” The world remembered the tea but forgot something far older, more powerful: Sri Lanka was first and foremost a spice island. These spices shaped history thousands of years before a single tea leaf grew here. And in their strength lies a heritage waiting to be rediscovered.
The Revival – Tasseoz
