This is an effort made by the ITN news team to examine a new path of the history.
Sri Lankan tea is well known in the world in the past as well as in the present day. It was in 1824 that tea cultivations was first launched in Sri Lanka at the research level. It is mentioned in history that James Taylor commenced tea cultivation at the Commercial level in the Lool Kaduruwatte area in the year 1860. But there is evidence that the cultivation of tea had commenced in the island 25 years before.
This is based on a revelation made by a member of the famous European Conferia Tea Association Piero Peronzi, acquainted with on the colonial era and who toured Sri Lanka on several occasions after his accidental arrival in the country in the 1980s.
This clearly portrays that they are powerful stakeholders in the European Financial Market. It now proves that it was the Rothschild who unveiled the tea plantation in the island at the Commercial level and that due place should be accorded to them for this move.
