It was as far back as the year 1824 in which the British brought a TEA plant from China to CEYLON (as Sri Lanka was known at the time ). It was planted in the Royal Botanical Garden, Peradeniya and is considered to have been the first non-commercial tea plant in Sri lanka.
JAMES TAYLOR (29 March 1835 Kincardineshire, Scotland-2 May 1892 Kandy, British Ceylon) was a British Ceylon in 1852 and settled down in Loolecondera estate in Galaha. Here he worked with THOMAS LIPTON ,a Scottish immigrant, to develop the industry in the British Ceylon. Thomas Lipton a millionaire in United Kingdom visited British Ceylon(Sri Lanka) in the 1890's during his journey to Australia, and met James. They discussed the business of exporting tea from British Ceylon. LIPTON's became interested and started buying Ceylon tea. During the period when James lived on the Loolecondera estate, the export of tea accelerated from 23 pounds to 81 tonnes and in 1890 it reached the level of 22,900 tonnes.
