SRI LANKA, THE TEA ISLAND

It was a Scottish man, James Taylor, who introduced the first tea bushes around 1860, bringing plants from the famous tea regions of China and Assam. Nowadays, the plantations cover a large part of the island and rise to an altitude of 2500 m. The liquors produced are amber-coloured, smooth, and lightly astringent in character. Mainly producer of black tea, some gardens are now developing the noble manufacture of white tea.
Produced in small quantity, this kind of tea is generally reserved for western clientele.
