If you like tea, it could originate from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, a name linked with tea. The first tea plant on the island, brought from China by the British in 1824, was showcased in the Royal Botanical Gardens near Kandy and has evolved into a big enterprise. This teardrop-shaped island nation is still a major tea producer and exporter, with more than one million of its 22 million inhabitants employed in the tea sector.
