color: #000000;\">Taylor, the son of Michael Taylor and Margaret Moir, was born on March 29, 1835, in a cottage called \u201cMoss Park\u201d on the Monbodde Estate, near Laurencekirk in Kincardineshire. On being recruited as a Coffee Planter on Narenghena Estate, he arrived in Ceylon on February 20, 1852. Following a brief posting there, he was transferred to\u00a0<strong>Loolecondera Estate<\/strong>,\u00a0where he spent the rest of his life and eventually expired on May 2, 1892, at the age of 57 years, of dysentery, while still in service.<span id=\"more-24321\"><\/span>With the decline in Coffee in the late 1860s, in 1867, Taylor pioneered the commercial cultivation of Tea on Loolecondera estate. Tea soon replaced Coffee, which was the main cash crop of the island, hitherto, on account of the \u201cplant blight\u201d that devastated the coffee plantations. It was Taylor\u2019s fortitude, vision and indefatigability that created this significantly successful agricultural enterprise \u2013 The Tea Industry of Ceylon, and it is to him that Ceylon Tea owes its worldwide fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As D.M. Forrest in his book\u00a0<em>A Hundred Years Of Ceylon Tea<\/em>\u00a0observed,\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cHe was a natural technician. He sometimes spent more money than his proprietors liked, but his roads were the best in the district and, when finished, cost nothing for two years except 5s for a cross-drain. His thatching, too, was good for five years against the normal three.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>It was he who first extolled the benefits of \u2018finer plucking\u2019, which enhanced the selling price of the made tea and raised the value of the land under tea cultivation, per acre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sir Arthur Conan Doyle paid tribute to the indomitable spirit and the profound sacrifices made by the pioneers of the Industry when he wrote,\u00a0<strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<strong><em>Not often is it that men have the heart, when their one great industry is withered, to rear up in a few years another as rich to take its place; and the tea fields of Ceylon are as true a monument to courage as is the lion of Waterloo\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>The Sri Lanka Tea Board, in collaboration with the Colombo Tea Traders\u2019 Association, has organized a series of celebratory events throughout the year 2017, to commemorate this momentous anniversary.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As a fitting tribute for his inestimable contribution to the Tea Industry and the country, the commemorative programme will commence with the unveiling, by the Hon. Minister of Plantation Industries at the Head Office of the Sri Lanka Tea Board, on January 19, 2017, of a monument, as an enduring memorial to him, in the form of a sculptured bust of James Taylor, acknowledged as the \u2018Father of Ceylon Tea\u2019, and who, at Loolecondera, was reverentially addressed as \u2018Saami Dorai\u2019, translated as \u2018the master who is God\u2019. As a commentator once remarked,\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cAnd thereby hangs a tale of how a Scots wheelwright\u2019s son was transmuted into a rustic God on a stony hillside in Ceylon\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;
