The Island of Black Tea Celebrates Their National Day

Sri Lanka, known as “Pearl of Indian Ocean / Asia’s Sweet-Heart / Wonder of Asia” is celebrating their 72nd national day on February 4. Ceylon Tea is also coming from this resplendent island nation & this wonderful beverage is recognized for her well balanced tasting profile by tea connoisseurs all over the globe.

As a nation, Mother Sri Lanka won the independence from the British empire in February 4, 1948. I would like to take this opportunity on Sri Lankan national day to Salute / Commemorate All The National Heroes Who Sacrificed Their Lives, Blood and Effort to Win The Freedom !
