El Teb Estate: A timeless icon of Sri Lanka’s tea legacy

Published

on

Nestled in the hills of Sri Lanka’s picturesque Uva Province, El Teb Estate is a living testament to the rich history, relentless innovation and deep-rooted community values that define the island’s tea industry. With a heritage spanning over a century, El Teb Estate embodies the spirit of resilience and excellence, producing some of the finest teas sought after by tea connoisseurs all over the world.

El Teb Estate’s story begins in 1896 with Captain Hamilton Gordon of the Gordon Highlanders, a soldier turned planter who traded his military glory for the lush plantations of Uva. His first encounter with the island came as aide-de-camp to Governor Sir Arthur Gordon (later Lord Stanmore), where he was deeply enchanted by Sri Lanka’s natural beauty. Through George Steuart & Co., he was introduced to J.J. Robinson, who guided him to Heathstock, a humble cardamom estate nestled along the Madulsima road four miles from Passara. Captivated by its potential, Captain Gordon, fondly known as “El Teb Gordon”, acquired the property and renamed it “El Teb” as homage to his military past at the Battle of El Teb in Sudan (1884), where he had served with distinction.

Evolution of a Landmark Estate

Over the years, his vision transformed El Teb into a thriving estate, consolidating nearby lands like Deyanawatte and Galbokke, while keeping Heathstock as the nucleus. Some of these acquisitions came about in colourful ways—legend has it that Gordon bought Deyanawatte from a traveler at the Badulla Club for £50 without the seller even knowing where the estate was located.

Other significant additions included Devenick, an abandoned coffee estate, and portions of St. Mary’s and Kitulkellie. His knack for recognizing opportunity led to the estate’s rapid expansion, including ventures into tea, coffee, and rubber cultivation. Gordon’s innovative spirit, from introducing labor-friendly practices such as serving hot tea during morning muster, to experimenting with crop diversification, reinforced his reputation as a pioneering planter.
