The allure of Spices, and the wealth they generated, first drove Western merchants to brave the unknown oceans in search of the “Spice Island of Ceylon”. Ceylon was colonized in the early 1600’s by the Portuguese for that same reason and continued to be re-colonized by the Dutch and finally the British because of it’s exotic Spices. Sri Lankan Spices, Tea and Essential Oils are considered the best in the world due to the islands location, climatic conditions and soil. In addition most of the Spices are grown in village home gardens and are hand picked and cured the traditional way which has been in existence for centuries. Dru Era is dedicated to supplying the world with the finest range of exotic Spices, Tea and Essential oils Sri Lanka has to offer.
