Tea was introduced to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) in the early 19th century by the British, replacing coffee which had been devastated by a disease. James Taylor, a Scottish planter, is credited with establishing the first successful tea plantation in the country in 1867.
Over time, Ceylon tea became one of the world’s leading exports, and Sri Lanka is now one of the largest tea producers globally.

Ceylon, has a rich history tied to tea cultivation, making it one of the world’s most famous tea producers.
Exploring the rolling green tea fields of Sri Lanka is like stepping into a painting. The dedication of the tea workers and the historic legacy of these estates tell a story of resilience and excellence. As you sip the finest Ceylon tea, you truly feel the connection between this beautiful land and its iconic export.
Thank you for your great comment.
