About Us
Who We Are?
At Sweet Sap Ancients (Pvt) Ltd, our journey began with a vision to revive one of Sri Lanka’s oldest traditions, the art of harvesting coconut blossom nectar. What started as a small initiative has grown into a brand that proudly carries Ceylon’s natural sweetness to the world.
Our products are more than sweeteners; they are a reflection of heritage, health, and honesty. Every bottle of our golden coconut syrup tells the story of local farmers, timeless tapping methods, and a promise to deliver authentic Ceylon flavor with real nutritional benefits. Rich in minerals, lower in glycemic index, and naturally energy-sustaining, our sweeteners offer a healthier choice without sacrificing taste.
What makes us unique is the way we bridge tradition with modern wellness. While staying rooted in centuries-old practices, we embrace innovation to meet today’s global demand for natural, sustainable, and trustworthy alternatives to refined sugar.
At Sweet Sap Ancients, we don’t just produce; we preserve culture, empower communities, and share Sri Lanka’s heritage with the world, one drop of sweetness at a time.

Industry Background
From Roots to Growth: Reviving Ceylon's Coconut Sap
For centuries, coconut sap tappers in Sri Lanka have climbed tall palms at dawn, carefully collecting the sweet nectar that flows from the coconut flower. This delicate process requires skill, patience, and deep respect for the tree; a craft passed down through generations. For many families, tapping is not just work, but a way of life, a livelihood, and a connection to nature.
At Sweet Sap Ancients (Pvt) Ltd, we honor this ancient tradition by reviving Ceylon's coconut sap industry with a long-term vision. Using traditional small-batch methods, we preserve the natural goodness of coconut sap while bringing it to homes, cafés, and global markets. Every bottle of CoCoSyrup carries the story of generations of tappers, authentic techniques, and pure Ceylon craftsmanship.

CoCoSyrup is a single-ingredient product; 100% pure coconut sap, with no added refined sugar and no preservatives. Naturally rich in flavor and nutrients, it's the perfect choice for health conscious individuals and wellness-focused communities.
Sustainability and Heritage
Our process supports local tappers and communities, ensuring sustainable harvesting practices while preserving this forgotten craft. By connecting ancient techniques with modern consumers, we give new life to Sri Lanka's coconut sap industry; a true blend of tradition, taste, and purpose.
