Homeland of Tea Plantations: Sri Lanka
Ceylon tea originates from the picturesque island of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. This tropical paradise, with its unique climate and fertile soils, is ideally suited for growing high-quality tea.
Historical Fact
An interesting fact: until the mid-19th century, Sri Lanka was known as a major coffee producer. However, after a devastating coffee rust epidemic in 1869, plantations were converted to tea, which marked the beginning of the famous Ceylon tea industry. It is here, thanks to unique conditions, that varieties are born that have conquered the world with their unparalleled taste and aroma.
