Ceylon Tea
After the introduction of tea cultivation in Sri Lanka, the industry flourished, transforming the country’s economy and landscape. By the late 19th century, Ceylon tea gained global recognition for its quality. The British, who initiated large-scale tea cultivation, established plantations across the island. This led to significant socio-economic changes, including the influx of Tamil laborers from India to work on the estates. Over time, Sri Lanka became one of the world’s leading tea producers, renowned for its distinct flavors and aromas. Today, the tea industry remains a vital component of Sri Lanka’s economy, supporting livelihoods and attracting tourists to its scenic plantations.
The legacy of tea cultivation in Sri Lanka extends beyond economic prosperity, shaping cultural traditions and identities. Tea has become an integral part of Sri Lankan culture, celebrated in rituals, festivals, and daily life. The picturesque tea estates dotting the landscape serve as enduring symbols of the nation’s rich heritage and global significance in the tea industry.
