Our Provenance & Heart

The Story of Aththa Kithul.
From Central Highland Palms to the World.

From the heart of Sri Lanka’s Central Province, we are dedicated to bringing the authentic goodness of Kithul from traditional village communities to the world. Kithul (Caryota urens) has been part of Sri Lanka’s rural heritage for generations. The traditional art of tapping Kithul palms is a skill passed down through families and communities, requiring patience, experience, and a deep understanding of nature.

Centuries of Harmony

Born in the Misty Valleys of Central Sri Lanka

Kithul (Caryota urens) is not an orchard crop that can be forced or mass-cultivated on mechanized monoculture farms. It grows wild and semi-wild in home gardens and cloud-kissed hills across Sri Lanka’s Central Province.

For generations, the tapping of Kithul has been both a sacred responsibility and an intimate ecological science. Village families hold the secrets of flower maturation, the exact herbal preparations applied to the inflorescence, and the gentle timing required to draw the purest sweet sap.

Our Vision

"To bring high-quality, authentic Sri Lankan Kithul products from our local communities to consumers around the world."

Our Mission

"To empower and encourage rural Kithul farmers by creating sustainable market opportunities while preserving the traditional knowledge and practices of Kithul production."
