In Ceylon, we value a tradition of teamaking that gave Ceylon Tea the reputation of being the finest in the world. Known for centuries as the home of the world’s finest tea, the island now known as Sri Lanka offers a wonderful array of tea, the result of the aspect of terroir that tea is blessed with combined with the unique topography of the country.

Dilmah selects the finest amongst Ceylon Teas, protecting the heritage of the island’s centuries old tea industry and nurturing the artisanal style that makes the finest Ceylon Teas indisputably the best in the world.

Dilmah is one of the world’s ten largest companies, a family company which is still led by founder Merrill J. Fernando, with a strong passion, solid knowledge and a great ethical commitment. At least 10% of the company’s profits go to Dilmah’s own charity fund MJF Charitable Foundation (founded in 2002) as well as Dilmah Conservation (founded 2007 together with IUCN). These funds do not donate money that is otherwise common in charity, but working actively and directly
to improve Sri Lanka, one of the world’s poorest countries.
