EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Maddema Mills in Colombo, Sri Lanka, circa 1905, home to the renowned Lipton Tea Company. The image showcases the traditional transport method used to move freshly processed tea chests from the mill to various destinations. Oxen, harnessed to wooden carts or wagons, laboriously pull the heavy loads along the cobblestone streets. Each wagon is individually numbered, adding a sense of order and efficiency to the scene. The Lipton Tea Company, which began its operations in Sri Lanka, then known as Ceylon, in the late 19th century, revolutionized the tea industry by introducing large-scale industrial production and modern transportation methods. This photograph offers a glimpse into the company's early days, when oxen were still an essential part of the tea transport system. The large chests and cases, filled with freshly processed tea leaves, are carefully loaded onto the wagons, ready for distribution to various markets around the world. The intricate numbering system on the wagons ensures that each shipment is accurately tracked and accounted for. The use of oxen for transportation was a common practice during this era, as motorized vehicles had not yet become widespread. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of tea production in Sri Lanka and the innovative methods employed by the Lipton Tea Company to establish a global tea empire. The oxen, wagons, and the bustling activity at Maddema Mills all contribute to the unique charm and character of this image.
