Merrill J. Fernando dedicated his life to tea, when in the 1950s, he witnessed the industry heading towards commoditisation. He decided that in the interest of tea drinkers, and the crop that his country produced with so much care, he would fight this. It took him nearly four decades and in 1985 he launched his own brand, Dilmah. It was the first producer owned tea brand that would offer tea handpicked and packed at origin (where it's grown), ensuring great taste and natural goodness; making it one of the finest teas of the world.
