Have you heard of Ceylon tea? This is where it comes from! Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) is one of the world’s biggest tea hotspots. Once upon a time in 1867, Sri Lanka was just minding its business when a man from Scotland named James Taylor had a lightbulb moment: “Let’s turn these hills into a tea paradise!” Spoiler alert: it worked. Ceylon tea became the talk of the town, and soon, the whole globe couldn’t get enough. Fast forward to today, and Sri Lanka is still steeped in tea glory
