Nothing in the history of Ceylon preordained this territory to become "the tea island". It was a Scottish man, James Taylor, who introduced the first tea busche 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. T
The liquors produced are amber-coloured, smooth, and lightly astringent in character.
