We love tea, and that’s our passion – that’s the difference between farmers and traders. It’s all about the leaf, because that’s where taste and natural goodness begin. But it’s also about purpose. Because that comes from a family business with family values. Those are the life lessons the 3rd generation of the Dilmah Family grew up with, under the guidance of their grandfather – Merrill J. Fernando, the tea farmer from a tiny fishing village in Sri Lanka, today the World’s Most Experienced Teamaker 71 years on. 🙂
