Expensive tea missing: courier faulted
An international courier company was summoned to courts after a parcel of most expensive white tea went missing without a trace. Ahamed Hananjey the Country Manger of Aramex courier company was summoned before the Galle Magistrate and later released on bail after the company failed to deliver or to inform the fate of the tea to its producer.

The producer of "Kilburn Imperial", Malinga Gunaratne of Handungoda Tea Factory had handed over on December 6, the parcel for urgent delivery to South Korea for a launching ceremony in Seoul.

The producer claimed there was a conspiracy to tarnish the image of Kilburn Imperial as many persons had attempted to bribe his employees in order to discover the secrets of producing white tea. A full scale investigation is underway to find whether any foul play has taken place, the Galle Police said.
