DILMAH TEA
Dilmah Tea began as a small family-owned business in 1988. Merrill J. Fernando started his career as a Tea taster. He immediately saw the problems with picking the tea in Ceylon (no Sri Lanka) and shipping it to Europe to be processed and packaged.
In 1988, he started Dilmah Tea with his sons, Dilhan and Malik (whose names form the brand name). Today Dilmah tea is one of the top 10 tea brands in the world. Fernando says his company will always be a small, family brand because it represents integrity and integrity in tea requires quality, commmitment and passion.
