'Tasting tea with a difference'

Rama's Tea House, Lounge and tea boutique in Kotte provides a different experience to its customers.

The dynamism behind the whole novel concept was inspired by the owner's experience of London tea pubs, and creates an ambience that is conducive to making it a place to be in. Housed in 2,500 square foot of space, it is designed to bring together people of all age groups, offering them a range of handpicked tea mocktails, local smallholder produced flavoured teas, green teas and bar food.

"Our commitment is to provide food and tea-based beverages with quality and style that would make Rama's a place worth visiting. We want people to feel as though they had an unique experience by providing them with a combination of service, art and ambience," founder proprietor Sarathchandra Ramanayake said.

Another novel offering by Rama's will be the serving of a buffet breakfast for the health conscious which would include an innovative preparation of health food with green tea, local gram, yam, country rice and other traditional recipes. It hopes to attract joggers in the Kotte strip adjoining the Diyawanna Oya.

Rama's Tea House and Lounge, a combination of tradition and innovation has a comfortable lounging area equipped with leather lounges, TVs, a pool table, and Wi-Fi facilities. It offers customers a totally relaxing atmosphere.

An attractive British style bar provides a bar-stool experience. Framed pictures of the bygone British era that adorn the walls create an intimate and cosy environment.
