Lipton’s statue at Lipton’s Seat<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nearly 6,000 feet above sea level, the Glasgow\u00a0man with a receding hairline, bigger-than-walrus moustache and palpable pomposity did not have an ornate throne. It was an ordinary perch where lay a rattan chair and often, a gold-rimmed tea cup.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lipton: King of all he surveys<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As an\u00a0old man, he would stare at the wide green valley below, discard humility and boast brusquely: \u201cEverything that you can see from here is mine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Untrue tale? No. It is a real story. So is the millionaire. The Glasgow dandy was Sir Thomas J. Lipton, the one who lent his last name to a famed tea brand. And yes, forgive the man\u2019s conceit, everything that one can see from Lipton\u2019s Seat in Sri Lanka\u2019s Haputale was actually Lipton\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Call it absent-minded coincidence or a quirk of fate, Sir Lipton\u2019s entry into Sri Lanka was actually a hop off. Literally. The story is that the millionaire, who owned many grocery stores in Glasgow, was in desperate need of a holiday. He was on a ship to Australia but hopped off in Sri Lanka to brew a fascinating tea story.\u00a0(Voyages those days were rather long and one could take a break in one of the many ports of call.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The water, as they say, was already boiling in the kettle. A cruel 1869 blight had wiped out entire coffee plantations in what was then known as Ceylon. Tea was not the island nation\u2019s favourite crop or beverage. However, much before the blight, a man named James Taylor, a recently arrived Scot, was quietly blending tea plantation ideas in the Loolecondera coffee estate. Taylor had brought seeds and tea plants from Kolkata\u2019s Botanical Garden in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka, tea was first planted commercially in 1867 and the first tea crate was shipped out five years later. The weight: two small packs weighing 23 pounds. The price: just Rs. 58.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
On the road to Lipton’s Seat<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Sir Thomas could not have hopped off at a more opportune time. He knew about tea; he had tea tins on his shop shelves in Glasgow. When he stepped into Sri Lanka, he decided to shun middlemen and grow his own tea. He began\u00a0by buying four tea estates and improvised tea-selling tactics \u2013 instead of selling tea loose from the chest, as was the practice, he packed them in brightly-coloured packets that screamed the slogan: \u201cStraight from the tea gardens to the tea pot.\u201d The pretty packets, reasonable price and witty slogan changed the flavour(s) of Sri Lankan tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Ceylon Tea Museum, \u201cLipton\u2019s foray into tea was a huge success, and vastly increased his wealth. His 300 shops throughout England soon could not keep up with the growing demand for his inexpensive product, and so Lipton Teas became available in other stores around Britain. The name of Lipton had migrated from a chain of grocery stores, and became a trademark soon to be famous the world over.\u201d (Lipton is still the world\u2019s number one tea brand).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"In 1890, Lipton built the famous Dambatenne Tea Factory. A wooden board still bears the details of the factory \u2013 length: 345ft, breadth: 45ft, elevation: 1,566 metres above sea level. Registered no. 322. Manufacture Registered No. 269. Number of loft bays: 4\u201330. Ground Floor area: 19,760 sq. ft. Sir Thomas no longer walks through the factory inspecting tea leaves but even today, he stares from the walls \u2013 his black and white photograph is neatly nailed on the factory wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not too far from his factory, amidst the terraced tea bushes and the dense forests of Haputale, Sir Thomas built a beautiful bungalow with slanted roofs, teak doors, red geraniums and neatly trimmed shrubs. In the large verandah, he mulled over marketing strategies to sell tea and also threw in a dash of glamour. The mighty and the moneyed walked in and out of the pretty teak doors, one of the most prominent being the grandmother of Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The next time, you stir Lipton Tea leaves in your cup, thank Sir Thomas J. Lipton, the one with a bigger-than-walrus moustache who had a seat at 6,000 feet above sea level. And everything that he could see from there was indeed his.\u00a0(MoneyControl)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
