The Foundation — A Sunday Feature
— A Dilmah tea tasting at the Marine Drive space, where Sri Lankan craft, slow tea, and visual storytelling share one room.
A room where slowness is the point.
Ceylon Stories opened its doors on the 9th of January, 2026. Founded by Shazi Salim and Rumaiz Ramzy, the gallery café on Marine Drive is a love letter to the island — a small, deliberate room that holds Sri Lankan craft, premium Ceylon tea, and rotating local art.
The space — previously The Central Perk — has been thoughtfully reimagined. An authorised Dilmah dealer, the café offers guided tea tastings and a refined educational tea experience that places Sri Lanka’s most respected blend at the centre of the room.
