Sohan Jayasena to take ceylon spices to the global wellness stage with Mild Earth

Published

Sri Lanka may give the world another refreshing beverage. Made of an original recipe, it’s brewed from some of the country’s most iconic spices, that could, in time, match the country’s best-known export, tea, thanks to the vision of the enterprising young marketing professional, Sohan Jayasena and his company mild earth

‘Wild Mist Water’ unveiled at an appropriately styled ‘quiet reveal’ in Colombo 7 a few weeks back is, in its creator Sohan Jayasena’s words, “a luxury wellness experience inspired by Sri Lanka’s botanical heritage.”

Available initially in four variants, the Wild Mist Water mixes come in canisters, and their contents must be brewed just as tea is, with each canister containing a thoughtfully curated mix of local spices that have been associated for generations with physical and mental wellbeing.

The spices that go into the mix are drawn entirely from Sri Lanka’s botanical repertoire, with each blend combining coriander seeds with carefully balanced accents of nigella, cloves, cinnamon, rosemary and lemongrass. The result is a subtle, refined infusion designed not to overwhelm the palate, but to offer a calming aroma, a smooth mouthfeel and a sense of grounding that unfolds slowly with each sip, giving its patrons a time to pause a moment of calm that is much needed in a world that never pauses or stops.

At the heart of the brand is its founder’s belief that Sri Lanka’s wellness heritage does not need exaggeration or nostalgia to be relevant to modern life, only thoughtful reinterpretation.
