In 1881, Lipton imported, displayed and sold the largest cheese that had ever been made. The ""Jumbo"" cheese consumed the milk of eight hundred cows and the labor of two hundred dairymaids. It was wheeled from the dock and down streets lined with cheering spectators. Right before Christmas, Lipton hit upon the idea of inserting gold coins into the cheese. When the cheese was cut up on Christimas Eve a police squad had to be called to control the crowd. Within two hours every ounce of the mammoth cheese had been sold. In the 1880s Lipton's business grew to more than 200 stores and Lipton became a multimillionaire. When he finally decided to start selling tea, Lipton wanted to travel abroad and find his own tea supply, rather than relying on middlemen. He went to India in 1890 to peruse the tea plantations, initating an important new chapter in his life. The Lipton name would eventually become nearly synonymous with tea in the Western word. Lipton was operating five tea plantations by the mid-1890s, but demand was simply too great, forcing him to open other plantations. In England, Lipton became associated with several members of the Royal family, was knighted and established himself as an international figure.
