In fact, this island country in the Indian Ocean has been influenced by diversified food culture since ancient times because of maritime trade. Later, immigrants from India and Malaysia and colonial factors from Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain made this "bright and rich island" form a unique flavor. As a beautiful paradise, Sri Lanka has a different living experience. For example: gems, black tea, special tourism culture, etc.
Langka is rich in colored gems, and it is said that 90% of the island's land meets the requirements of gem production. In addition to the most famous sapphires and Star Sapphire, there are rubies, emeralds, cat's eyes, aquamarine, zircon, opal and so on.
However, it should be noted that gems are different from diamonds and there is no clear classification. If there is no professional knowledge, it is recommended to consider it carefully. If you want to buy expensive gems, such as royal sapphires, please be sure to ask for a certificate. Ordinary tourists can buy some cheap gems, such as topaz, topaz and amethyst, as souvenirs.
Ceylon Black Tea is world-famous and affordable, and it is one of the best gifts for traveling to Colombo. There are many brands of black tea in Sri Lanka, the most famous of which are Melsa, Mounta and Dilmah. Many teabags are very popular because they add fruit flavor, such as lemon, strawberry, mint and cherry, as well as Imberland-style breakfast black tea, afternoon black tea and Earl black tea. But it's usually broken tea. You can buy teabags if you mind. Black tea can be drunk directly with water, or with sugar and milk to form mellow milk tea.
