The Legacy of James Taylor and Ceylon Tea
James Taylor, a visionary Scottish tea planter, arrived in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) in 1852. His groundbreaking efforts in tea cultivation began in 1867 when he planted the first commercial tea estate in Loolecondera. Taylor's innovative techniques and unwavering dedication to quality revolutionized the tea industry, establishing Ceylon tea as a world-renowned brand.
Taylor's meticulous approach to tea cultivation and processing set the standard for excellence. He introduced new methods in plucking, withering, rolling, fermenting, and drying tea leaves, ensuring that only the finest quality tea reached consumers. We uphold his principles of quality and craftsmanship in every batch of James Taylor Premium Ceylon Tea.
