2. For centuries, problems of mankind have
been solved over a cup of tea whether they were
problems between nations, amongst businesses, even in
families, between husbands and wives, tea has been the
soothing balm that helped their solution. The simple
act of pouring a cup of tea is, in itself, an ice-breaker,
providing pleasurable anticipation of the goodness
that is to follow. I have dedicated my life towards
providing that cup: not only to solve problems but to
add sunshine, to our day, with every sip of Dilmah.
Merrill J. Fernando
Founder of Dilmah Tea

The Story Behind Your Cup of Tea
There is an amazing story behind your cup of Dilmah Tea. It is a tale that unfolds each day
on Dilmah Tea gardens around Sri Lanka. It begins with the blessing of nature upon Ceylon
Tea – the natural alchemy of climate and soils that produces the world’s finest tea. It develops
from there, weaving through the lives of the tea pickers and their families, through the village
communities around our island, through the forests and waters around Sri Lanka, and reaching
its climax in your cup of tea.
Dilmah was born of a simple tea grower’s vision. Merrill J. Fernando’s desire to share the pleasure
in tea with the world, and to do so ethically by benefiting workers in the exploited tea industry,
was the genesis of Dilmah Tea. Nearly four decades of struggle that Merrill invested in making
his dream a reality, were rewarded with an unexpectedly powerful welcome from tea drinkers
around the world.
Dilmah has grown from the impossible and often ridiculed dream of an ordinary Sri Lankan to a
brand that is enjoyed in 100 countries around the world. Dilmah is recognized as one of the top
10 tea brands in the world. These are not the definitions of success that Merrill J. Fernando and
his family seek for Dilmah though.
Merrill fulfilled his pledge to making his Dilmah a genuinely ethical business with the
establishment of his charitable foundation – the MJF Foundation. That commitment to ethics
was set at the heart of Merrill’s business in the 1960s, long before Corporate Social Responsibility
became the buzzword that it is today. Within that commitment lies a very powerful philosophy –
that of making business a matter of human service.
In seeing success as something beyond its conventional, commercial definition, Merrill
demonstrated a powerful truth. He showed how relevant the often discarded traditional, family
values are in present context. By placing integrity – as much in relation to his customers, in the
quality of Dilmah Tea as to the workers and environment that help make Dilmah special - at the
heart of his business, he offered a potent solution to many of the problems our world faces today.

It is often said that at the heart of
gastronomy is the harmony of flavours on
the tongue. It is with this principle in mind
that the selection of Dilmah Fun Teas was
crafted. Each tea is designed to offer a
taste experience that is as pleasurable as it
is authentic and functional.
Each tea is crafted to ensure that delicate
balance of flavour and tea. The authenticity
in tea is celebrated in the quality of the
Single Region Ceylon tea whilst the
function – the health benefits in tea – are
embodied in the use of high quality, garden
fresh teas.
