Tea production is one of the main sources of foreign exchange for Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon), and accounts for 2% of GDP, contributing US $1,527 million in 2013 to the economy of Sri Lanka.[1] It employs, directly or indirectly, over 1 million people, and in 1995 directly employed 215,338 on tea plantations and estates. Sri Lanka is the world's fourth largest producer of tea. In 1995, it was the world's leading exporter of tea, (rather than producer) with 23% of the total world export, but it has since been surpassed by Kenya. The highest production of 340 million kg was recorded in 2013, while the production in 2014 was slighly reduced to 338 million kg.[2]
The humidity, cool temperatures, and rainfall of the country's central highlands provide a climate that favors the production of high-quality tea. The industry was introduced to the country in 1867 by James Taylor, a British planter who arrived in 1852

A Tea Estate in the Central Highlands Sri Lanka
Majority of the tea estates in Sri Lanka, almost about 80% that produce better type of tea are in Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Badulla districts. Especially at Nuwara Eliya you would find acres and acres of tea plantations covering the hill slopes with green everywhere. Nuwara Eliya with the necessary elevation, favourable mild climatic conditions and the reddish soil rich in humus produce the best Ceylon tea.

NUWARA ELIYA TEA PLANTATIONS · SRI LANKA 2018 I TRAVEL VLOG #59
Nuwara Eliya is such a stunning place, so of course we had to spend a few days there on our way to Ella. We hired a tuktuk to take us outside of city to the beautiful tea plantations and to the enormous Ramboda Waterfalls.
If you're in need of a really nice driver in Nuwara Eliya, we recommend our guy Chandimal. His number is 0755777597 :) Say hello from us!
We went to two different tea factories, Macbook (which is now called Damro) and Blue Field, and both experiences were really good. If you can only go to one, we'd recommend Blue Fields, because you're allowed to go into the tea fields, and because the guided tour is a bit better there, but the views from the Macbook tea factory are amazing!
Ramboda Waterfalls outside of Nuwara Eliya is definitely also worth visiting if you're in the area. It was much larger than we expected, and as you can see – it was definitely a hike!
We took the train from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, so stay tuned for our next video which is about the train beautiful train journey between Kandy and Ella in Sri Lanka.

Hi there! I'm Anne-Li – Danish girl, globetrotter, travel vlogger, blogger and digital nomad traveling the world with my partner in crime and long-term boyfriend Mathias. Spending a month in Budapest every summer taught us that traveling does not have to be expensive and that slow travel is the way to go – for us. We have been traveling full-time since September 2016, and we usually base ourselves in one place for at least a month or two. This way of traveling is not only budget friendly – it also means that we can take our time and really explore and enjoy the place we're in. We eat local food, shop at local markets, meet local people and enjoy experiencing different cultures – all the while seeking out the best wifi and exploring everything there is to explore. Everyday is another adventure, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Let's go!

THE STORY OF CEYLON TEA - (MINERVA the documentary team production)
Until the 1860’s THE MAIN CROP PRODUCED on the island of Sri Lanka, then Ceylon, was coffee. But in 1869, the coffee-rust fungus, Hemileia vastatrix, killed the majority of of the coffee plants and estate owners had to diversify into other crops in order to avoid total ruin. The owners of Loolecondera Estate had been interested in tea since the late 1850’s and in 1866, James Taylor, a recently arrived Scot, was selected to be in charge of the first sowing of tea seeds in 1867, on 19 acres of land.
Taylor had acquired some basic knowledge of tea cultivation in North India and made some initial experiments in manufacture, using his bungalow verandah as the factory and rolling the leaf by hand on tables. Firing of the oxidized leaf was carried out on clay stoves over charcoal fires with the leaf on wire trays. His first teas were sold locally and were declared delicious. By 1872, Taylor had a fully equipped factory, and, in 1873, his first quality teas were sold for a very good price at the London auction. Through his dedication and determination, Taylor was largely responsible for the early success of the tea crop in Ceylon. Between 1873 and 1880, production rose from just 23 pounds to 81.3 tons, and by 1890, to 22,899.8 tons.
Most of the Ceylon tea gardens are situated at elevations between 3,000 and 8,000 feet in two areas of the southwestern part of the island, to the east of Colombo and in the Galle district on the southern point. In the hot, steamy plains and foothills, the tea bushes flush every seven or eight days and are picked all year round. The finest teas are gathered from late June to the end of August in eastern districts and from the beginning of February to mid-March in the western parts.
Until 1971, more than 80 percent of the island’s tea estates were owned and managed by British companies. In 1971, the Sri Lankan government introduced a Land Reform Act which gave the state control of the majority of the plantations (which also grow rubber and coconuts for export) leaving about one-third in private hands. Since 1990, a restructuring program has been going on to involve the private sector companies (both Sri Lankan and foreign) as Managing Agents of the state-owned plantations. The long-term aim is for the private managing companies to take on most, if not all, of the financial responsibility and control of the estates, with the government retaining ownership.
