OUR JOURNEY
The clear water, bottled by FFoods Ltd, under the brand name of Ceylon Jalaya, is not just any water. Nestled in the pearl-shaped island of Sri Lanka, the source of this pristine water is a village called Hali-ela situated in the highlands of the country and rich in unpolluted water springs.
SOURCED FROM HALI-ELA
The source of this water is situated at Malitta (Bandarawela) town along Bandarwela Atampitya Road. The whole area is a mountain retreat that dwells in the midst of lush tea and natural plantations. The area is resplendent with quality water springs and streamlets. Unpolluted waters gush from these untainted highlands and rich soil. The surrounding land is free from insecticides and pesticides while the trees which are abundant in the area serve to constantly recharge the ground water table.
GUARANTEED
PURITY
Detailed hydrogeological investigations and physical, chemical and bacteriological tests of this water in March 2017 for the 160 ft deep tubewell have validated its purity. These stringent tests have proved sufficient liters of drinking water are available for the FFoods Water Bottling Plant. This superior quality, natural and healthy water is extracted by state-of- the-art methods to be further purified with an advanced filtration system which meets the consumer in sealed bottles under the name of Ceylon Jalaya.
BENEFITS THE
ENVIRONMENT
Finally, the factory location is strategically within 300m of the water source. Properly planned landscaping ensures the prevention of soil erosion accompanied with world class drainage. This makes provision for rain storm water management as well as avoidance of contamination of the water source.
This is a unique, revolutionary and holistic project in Sri Lanka where water is bottled from a source duly protected by vegetation, fruit farming and tree plantation to foster natural recharge pathways for the water table. Proper landscaping aids in arresting soil erosion and provides an opportunity for trained employment to the locals serving to upgrade their lifestyle.
THE COMPANY
FFoods Pvt Ltd was established in 2015 with the aim of developing the land in Bandarawale for food cultivation and processing. As the barren land was tilled, the landscape became resplendent with trees anticipating oranges, apples, jackfruits and pomegranates.
The surrounding terraces and valleys of Bandarawale possess a rich and long history of gushing springs and water flowing in abundance from the terraces. This spearheaded the idea of making use of this pure water, filtering it and bottling it to deliver quality bottled water products and meeting our customers’ needs in Sri Lanka.
Hence, by early 2015 the company ….
