History of Ceylon Tea
Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, is one of the world's leading tea producers. The history of tea on the island began in 1867 when the Scotsman James Taylor established the first commercial tea plantation in Loolecondera, near Kandy. It was thanks to his efforts that the tea industry in Ceylon rapidly developed after coffee plantations were destroyed by a fungus.
Interesting Fact: The first tea seeds were brought to Ceylon from Assam, India, which played a key role in shaping the unique profile of Ceylon tea.
