Ceylon produces many natural food products and tea and spices are some of them. Black tea is made from sun-dried mature tea leaves. The tea leaves are completely dried. They are black and wrinkled. They are ground into coarse pieces and are then packed either in soft paper-foil packs or porcelain containers. The porcelain containers are a speciality. They are made into fully decorated elephant figurines and dried tea leaves are packed into the hollow body and closed with a rubber cap. They are sold as paired elephants - one female and one male. They are also gift items from the people of modern day Sri Lanka.
