The company began in 1867, when a superintendent of a coffee plantation decided to plant 20 acres of tea to help the coffee company diversify. Within 25 years, tea production had increased from several pounds a season to almost 23,000 tons, and Ceylon was on the map as a major tea producer. Today, Sri Lanka is the 3rd largest tea-producing country in the world
