Dilmah Premium Ceylon Tea

Dilmah Premium Ceylon Tea is a globally recognized single-origin black tea sourced and packed in Sri Lanka. It is distinctive for being a family-owned brand that emphasizes a 'garden to cup' philosophy, ensuring the tea is packed at the source to preserve freshness and flavor. The brand is strongly associated with the high-quality tea leaves grown in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon.

Founded by Merrill J. Fernando in 1988, Dilmah has grown from a local Sri Lankan producer into a major international exporter. Unlike many global tea brands that blend teas from multiple origins to reduce costs, Dilmah remains committed to pure Ceylon tea. The company is currently managed by the founder's sons, Dilhan and Malik, and continues to operate under its parent company, MJF Group, maintaining its status as a vertically integrated tea business from plantation to retail.
