Ceylon Tea - the world standard for the highest standard
The museum tells about how the tea produced in Sri Lanka 100 years ago and today. It gathers the oldest and most unique items related to the production of this delicious drink. The museum is interesting as locals and tourists interested in how to appear Ceylon tea - one of the most popular beverage in the world.
Tea production started 132 years ago, in 1867, when James Taylor planted the first tea bushes in 19 acres of land in his manor. Today, a century later, tea remains the most popular export product of Sri Lanka.
Several years ago the public was thrilled with how to keep old machines that were used for the production of tea, as the government was not interested in their preservation. However, the former producers of tea, anxious to preserve the tea heritage, founded his own museum. Find old machines and place them in the museum was not easy and took about three years.
The museum consists of four floors. The two floors are old machines for cultivation and production of tea, another floor is the library and audio and video presentations, and the last describes the sale of Ceylon tea and you can buy.
Among the exhibits of the museum items such as hand-hundred-skating rink for tea (pictured), the Venetian dryer - the first dryer, founded WJ. Dzhekonom, the oldest packet of Ceylon tea in the original packaging, which is over 56 years, the world's largest photography tea bush and others.
