England may be the birthplace of the traditional afternoon tea but if you look further afield, you’ll find glamorous venues that take it to a whole new level.

In a matter of six days, Sri Lankan stakeholders built from scratch, operated and concluded trading ‘Ceylon Tea’ at the Colombo auction on a digital platform.
At present, there are more than 50 countries and regions planting tea in the world, but the planting areas are concentrated in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
