Dilmah Ceylon Premium Loose Leaf Tea

Dilmah is a globally recognized tea brand, famous for its commitment to single-origin tea and ethical production. Founded in 1988 by Merrill J. Fernando, the brand was established to ensure that the profits of the tea industry remained in the country of origin rather than being funneled to large multinational corporations. This 'single-origin' philosophy means the tea is grown, harvested, and packed right where it is produced in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon).

Unlike many global tea brands that blend teas from various countries to reduce costs, Dilmah focuses on preserving the integrity and flavor profile of Ceylon tea. The company remains a family-owned business, headquartered in Peliyagoda, Sri Lanka, and continues to operate under its original purpose of social responsibility and quality over mass-market blending.
