1.0 Introduction
It was as far back as the year 1824 in which the British brought a tea plant from China to Ceylon (as Sri Lanka was known at the time). It was planted in the Royal Botanical Gardens, Peradeniya and is considered to have been the first non-mercantile tea plant in Sri Lanka.
After nearly two decades in 1867, James Taylor, Scottish by origin, planted 19 acres of tea in the city of Kandy in Ceylon, at the Loolecondra Estate as the first mercantile tea plantation. The eventual sale of Loolecondra teas resulted in 1872, in Kandy and the first tea consignment to London in 1873. These originator efforts were done by trial and error and improved over the years via the introduction and transformation of tea processing machines and methods, …show more content…

    It was obvious that the Colonists weren’t responding well to tighter control from the British, but they did not know how to handle it except to squeeze tighter. In an effort to bring back the East India Company from bankruptcy, the British Crown granted them a monopoly on tea sales to the American Colonies. Without competition, the East India Company had full control over the prices they set. This infuriated the colonists. Pamphlets and protests did not seem to be cutting it anymore, so some felt like action needed to be taken.

    In the first few months of 1773 the British East India Company found it was sitting on large stocks of tea that it could not sell in England. It was on the verge of bankruptcy, and many members of Parliament owned stock in this company. (USA, 1) The Tea Act in 1773 was an effort to save it. The Tea Act gave the company the right to export its merchandise without paying taxes. Thus, the company could undersell American merchants and monopolize the colonial tea trade. By October, the Sons of Liberty in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston threatened tea imports and pledged a tea boycott.

    Despite the fact that there were no elected members from the colonists in Parliament, they were still taxed. The British East India Company, which was already in debt to the British Crown, sought to export tea directly from their Chinese warehouses to the American colonies to avoid shipping it through Britain. The Tea Act of 1773 was passed, which imposed a duty of £1/80 per pound on directly imported tea. Although this act would have saved colonists money, they still opposed it and refused to purchase the tea. The Boston Tea Party was a direct result of this opposition, and it inspired similar acts of protest throughout the colonies.

  • The Tea Act of 1773

    794 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Tea Act was passed on May 10, 1773 by Parliament. The act granted the British East India Company Tea a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonists. The main reason this passed was to get the East India Company out of bankruptcy, which the company was in due to reduced sales of their tea. The act gave the East India Company two benefits. One was to allow it to market its tea directly to America, using its own agents there. This allowing it to bypass the network of auctions, wholesalers, and colonial merchants through which the tea previously had seen sold. The other benefit was to free the company of the duty on tea that it imported to Britain and then reshipped to America.

  • Boston Tea Party Essay

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    Because the company appointed only certain American merchants as agents to distribute their tea, other merchants resented not being able to partake in the profits. When the company realized, that the colonists were drinking cheap tea, smuggled tea, the parliament gave them the monopoly to export tea without paying duties. Smugglers feared the loss of the valuable trade of Dutch tea. Popular politicians objected to the Tea Act on principle. They resisted “taxation without representation”—Britain taxing the colonists without giving them representation in government. Then in 1773 the British Parliament passed the Tea Act. This act was designed to help the nearly bankrupt East India Company by eliminating any tax on tea the company exported to America. The company’s tea, although still subject to the Townshend tax, was now cheaper than the smuggled Dutch tea most Americans drank. However, if the colonists bought it, they would be accepting the British tax.

  • Smoking Hazards: Tobacco Cultivation In Colonial America

    1762 Words  | 4 Pages

    Tobacco did not just appear in colonial America. The tobacco plant was introduced by John Rolfe to the people of Jamestown (Nobleman 12). John Rolfe also taught the colonists how to farm tobacco (Tunis 77). Though tobacco cultivation seemed to be flourishing, consumers were still getting their tobacco from the Spanish Indies, as the Spanish Indies grew milder tobacco than America (Weeks 1). This motivated John Rolfe to sail to the Spanish Indies and confiscate some of their tobacco seeds ("The Growth of the Tobacco…" 2). The tobacco from the Spanish Indies boosted the economic growth of colonial America (2). However, John Rolfe was not the first person to have tobacco in the new world. The Native Americans were the first people to cultivate and smoke tobacco and taught their trade to the Spanish (1). The ...

    Since 2000, sales of organic foods in the United States have grown roughly 200%, and are expected to generate 42 billion dollars in 2014 (“US Organic Food Industry”, para. 1). This makes organics the fastest growing portion of the entire food industry, and worthy of keeping an eye on. The surge of growth was caused in part by the USDA release of its national standards for organic products in 2002, which subsequently prompted consumer demand for food that was healthier and better for the environment, and the popularization of “health food” stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s that market to these consumers (Callard, 2009).

    Tobacco was first discovered in the Americas and became a cash crop. It was imported back to Europe, where it became vastly popular. As many middle class Europeans began smoking, the demand for more tobacco from the Americas increased; colonies were set up to produce tobacco. With the demand for tobacco so high, labor was needed to farm the crop, causing slaves to be imported. There is no exact date to when the discovery of tobacco occurred, but tobacco dates as far back to the Mayans and Aztecs.
