Are you saying companies without the "seal of authenticity" are importing
tea to Sri Lanka just to package and export?

But, is it good? I finally found one (1) local shop that carries Ceylon
tea. It's Alwazah (Swan) brand and it's acceptable at $4.29/500g; it's
not nearly as good as some other I've had at $5.99 but nobody here carries
it.
