the story behind peekoh tea

|| Sri Lankan || Fresh || Natural Ingredients || Loose Leaf || Responsible || Small Batch ||

Childhood friends, Trevin and Vinod combined their love for tea and diverse passions to bring Peekoh to life in 2019. Initially stocking a select number of cafes owned by friends, Peekoh slowly evolved into what it is today - one of Sri Lanka’s premier small batch tea suppliers that specializes in loose leaf teas, blends and tisanes.

Having more than a decade of experience in the tea industry, Trevin has worked as a taster, buyer, seller and everything in-between in the industry. With a deep appreciation and knowledge of tea, Trevin is responsible for sourcing all our natural ingredients and creating our blends. Currently residing in High Forest in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka, Trevin manages a tea factory and also is an advisor to one of the island’s premier organic herb suppliers.

Working as a conservationist and communicator, Vinod is responsible for shaping the Peekoh narrative and ensuring that environmental and social responsibility standards are adhered to. Having run many environmental awareness campaigns and social media accounts for conservation organizations, Vinod manages Peekoh’s communications. He is the Executive Director of the Lanka Environment Fund (LEF) and the Co-Founder of the Parrotfish Collective (PFC).

To add to the growth of Peekoh, Trevin and Vinod were joined by Kelly in 2021. Working as a Yoga and Wellness Practitioner, Kelly has had a keen interest in herbs and natural remedies from a young age. Combining her experience of working with herbs and passion for wellness, Kelly has taken on the role of ‘Head Blender’, developing a selection of tisanes under the “Seasons of the Womb” range and coordinating operations. Kelly and Vinod reside on the east coast of Sri Lanka.
