A sparkling land, rich in colourful flavours, tradition, culture, and vibrantly fruitful estates across its plains, and holds a distinguished popularity as a health-beneficial beverage across the world.
As we read on about the prideful and historically prosperous culture of tea in Sri Lanka, we come across James Taylor, a Scottish tea planter, who was the individual to introduce tea to British-Ceylon.Posed a wonderful point of view about Sri Lanka, as he pioneered in shaping a new industry in Ceylon, by dedicating his efforts and hard labour towards establishing tea plantations in the country. James Taylor had famously stated that…
“The ecological landscape in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) is very good for the production of high quality tea.”
…being a firm believer of Sri Lanka’s naturally gifted climatic and environmental presence. Since then, this has given a fresh start to the art of tea plantations within Sri Lanka.
