Taste, Goodness & Purpose Our Founder’s dream was to offer his tea, grown and packed at source, direct to the world. After nearly four decades spent in overcoming the obstacles he faced as he sought to offer the first genuinely ethical tea brand, he succeeded in 1988 and his earnings fulfill his pledge to making Dilmah a business that is a matter of human service.

Taste Deliciously authentic, honouring the influence of Nature in our Single Origin Teas and handpicked ingredients. We are tea growers, and our commitment is to great taste with tea that is garden fresh, single origin and of the finest quality.

Goodness Tea that is grown, handpicked and handmade, and infusions from ingredients that are authentic, all freshly packed at source, to ensure that natural antioxidant goodness is nurtured and protected for your enjoyment.

Purpose Formed around our Founder’s sincere wish to make business a matter of human service, earnings from Dilmah Tea are shared with less privileged people and the environment.

Fresh from Ceylon’s Tea Gardens.

Interspersed with waterfalls, rising mountain tops and natural beauty that the island formerly known as Serendib is bestowed with, rises the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country. Cultivated over centuries, these gardens gave the island (then Ceylon), its firm place in the hearts of tea drinkers around the world for that delicious brew unmatched in taste and variety – Ceylon Tea.

VARIETY IN TEA

MANY TEAS

VARIETY IN TEA The diversity in tea is elegantly expressed visually, in the leaf, infusion of the brewed leaf and the brewed liquor, continuing through the fragrance of the tea both leaf and liquor and finally in the flavour, texture and strength of each tea.

WHITE TEA The most rare and refined of teas for the discerning tea drinker. Silver Tips, real white tea is made from the handpicked buds of the Camellia sinensis plant.

GREEN TEA Green Tea is unfermented, maintaining a generally mild and light and sometimes astringent characteristics. The most popular tea in Japan is Sencha, made by a method unique to Japan.

OOLONG TEA Oolong teas are partly oxidised or fermented. The teas are picked, often 3 leaves and a bud, withered, fermented, then heated, rolled and dried

BLACK TEA Black teas are fully fermented, the most common type of tea from Sri Lanka, India, Kenya and other former British colonies.

TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURING

CTC VS ORTHODOX There are two ways of making tea, and as with most things in life, it is the harder way that is the right way.

Two Types of Manufacturing tea CTC VS ORTHODOX

CTC tea was initially devised as a way to process damaged or low quality leaves

The traditional style of manufacturing tea is artisanal, demanding expertise at each step. It is an exacting method, demanding expertise but it is the only way to make good tea.

SIZE OF LEAF DENOTE STRENGTH NOT QUALITY

The smallest of tea grades is so small as to resemble actual dust. A good dust should be grainy, free from fibre and grit. Usually makes for the strongest brew and flavor, although lacking subtlety.

A true natural BOP should consist of only that leaf broken up in the rollers which passes through a No.10 mesh.

The largest of the leafy grades and usually makes the lightest brew and flavour.

INTRODUCTION TO TEA & FOOD PAIRING

The Teamaker’s Private Reserve is an eclectic collection of rare, fine teas. Each handpicked by Merrill J. Fernando, Founder of Dilmah they are chosen to present the indulgent pleasure in tea. Expressed in myriad flavours, textures and colours, the teas range from the artful elegance of Ceylon Single Estate Silver Tips from Imboolpitiya Estate to the pungent, smoky Ceylon Souchong from Rilhena Estate. A deliciously authentic Ceylon Artisanal Spice.

Chai extends the tea experience with a traditional fusion of the spices that brought early explorers to Ceylon, and her exceptional teas. Combining Single Estate Teas from Nilagama and Dombagastalawa with subtle flavour in aromatic and harmonious embrace are the Teamaker’s Private Reserve Earl Grey, Mango and Rose with Ginger. The Chamomile flowers complements the teas with a naturally caffeine free, herbal infusion.

How does tea help boost immunity?

Research suggests that tea flavonoids and theanine found in tea have immunoenhancing effects to help your body fight viral diseases. Tea was first discovered as a medicine and antioxidants found in real tea, Camellia sinensis, help the human body resist diseases. Experts recommend drinking 4 – 5 cups of handpicked, unblended and garden-fresh tea, packed at source, of either black, oolong or green tea, per day, to help boost immunity.

Our Cuppa is 100% Plant-based Goodness Every cup of Dilmah Tea that is handpicked and handmade, is Crafted by Nature
