A vintage map of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) showing the main areas of tea production shaded in red. The ports through which tea was exported are marked in red lettering. The map also shows game reserves, hydroelectric schemes, airports, railways, and roads. Elevation is shown by graduated shades of green/brown, and the dry/wet zones are also indicated on the map.

This map was commissioned and published by the Ceylon Tea Centre to promote Sri Lanka as the world's finest producer. At the time of printing, tea exports made up 70% of Sri Lanka's exports, supplying almost one third of Britain's overall tea consumption.
