EDITORS COMMENTS
Exporting Ceylon Tea at Colombo Docks, Sri Lanka (circa 1920s): A captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the bustling Colombo Harbour in Sri Lanka during the 1920s. The image showcases the vibrant and robust Ceylon Tea industry, which was a significant contributor to the country's economy. In the foreground, we see a multitude of crates and boxes, meticulously loaded onto the deck of a ship. The tea, carefully packaged and ready for export, is a testament to the industry's dedication to quality and precision. The tea leaves, sourced from the lush green tea plantations across the island nation, were renowned for their unique flavour and aroma, making them highly sought after in international markets. The loading process was a well-oiled machine, with workers efficiently moving crates from the dockside to the ship, ensuring that every last gram of tea was accounted for. The ship, with its sails partially unfurled, is ready to embark on its journey across the sea, carrying the precious cargo to its destination. The Colombo Docks, with their towering cranes and bustling activity, served as the gateway to the world for Ceylon Tea. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition of tea production in Sri Lanka, which continues to thrive and innovate to this day.
