The journey however, made the shadow grow ever so bigger and stronger and today is no more a mere activity from behind as it has crossed to an unassailable achievement as the first global brand from Sri Lanka
Prof Ajith De Alwis
In many respects, the MJF story is the antithesis of globalisation. It is the tale of success for the small family unit working hard to overcome the power of the multinationals. It is a tale of values overcoming the sometimes amoral mechanisations of much bigger and more powerful players.

Nishanthi Amaratunga

In 2002, whilst researching for my fourth book, Brand New Justice, I first read about Merrill Fernando and his audacious bid to create a global tea brand. The book explored the idea that one day, consumers in the ‘developed’ world might start seeing premium branded products on the shelves that didn’t come from Western Europe, East Asia or North America

“I don’t listen to my Accountants – if I did I won’t be where I am today” – Merrill J Fernando. In the year 2000, when I first met Mr. Fernando, he made this statement.

Our heartfelt greetings and wishes to you, on reaching two milestones, the first rare and the second unique; ninety years in life and seventy years in tea. We salute you for your contribution and your unwavering commitment to sustaining authenticity and probity in an industry, so easily susceptible to debasement. Most of all, we recognize your championship of the marginalized, the downtrodden and the voiceless of our society. These comprise a fusion of virtues so rarely seen in business today. I consider it a privilege to have been able to share in that journey, albeit in a very small way. Thank you very much for having given me that opportunity. Wishing you many more years of success.

Dear Mr. Fernando,
Happy 90th Birthday! To celebrate this and your 70 year devotion to tea I’ve made you the first drink I ever created for you, the Dilmah Blazer.
You have been an inspiration to me personally, through the great things you've achieved but also through the smallest gestures you've made and the attention you have for everyone. You are a once-in-a-lifetime person and I'm truly grateful to have met you.
Save me some cake, because as soon as this crisis has passed I’m coming over to fix you the blazer.
Warmest Regards,

Being one of my parents closest friends, 'Uncle Merrill' as he is know to me, has been part of my life for as long as I recall. He was a frequent visitor to my parents home.
His kind demeanor, his patience, humility and humanity shown to all, his ability to interact with every level of society stands as tall as he is, in a society of smaller people.

It is indeed a great privilege and honor to work for Sri Lanka's greatest visionary leader who has established Sri Lanka's only global brand.
Your attention to detail and passion for quality is unmatched. Your refusal to accept the status quo has driven Dilmah to its current position as the most innovative global tea brand. You have always been ahead of the times with your ideas and concepts which the Industry has finally come to understand and appreciate. We are fortunate to have, not just your guidance in the business aspects, but also the example you set through your moral and ethical values of life.
Your faith in almighty is a great example not just for the Christians but for people from all religious beliefs to practice their faith.
We thank you for all you have done and what you continue to do. May God Bless You and give you the strength to fulfill His plans through you.

Merrill - congratulations on your 90 years and 70 in tea...changing the industry across the planet!!
I have been privileged to see first hand how you Dilhan & Malik have given back directly & through a human approach to business and community. The affection you are receiving today is a small reflection of the work you have done...so congratulations on the milestone and a life well lived.

Dear Sir,
Wishing you a very happy birthday.
Some times I wonder how a person could be so generous towards mankind as well as to Nature at the same time. Most are aware of your kindness towards people but not so much about your work to save our environment. I was told that today a species was named after you in appreciation of your work to protect nature. A timely gesture.
Best wishes.

I came across the first Dilmah tea bag I was ever going to try at a friend's house. I'd tried flavored tea before, but this one called my attention, little did I know it would start my love and respect for Dilmah's amazing flavors. I've tried as many as it has been possible for me and each tea has brought me deeper into this tea lovers world haha.
Thank you Mr. Dilmah for giving us such amazing and enjoyable moments without you even noticing! I raise my tea cup for you today and each time I'm drinking your amazing tea.

We love your tea. It is so much better than the tea available in supermarkets here in US. We first had your tea when my wife and I were visiting Australia a number of years back and bought it in a supermarket there. Having been born in Australia, I love a good cup of black tea with milk.
We now order your tea directly from Sri Lanka.
Thank you for your passion for great tea and have a happy Birthday.

Unfortunately, my only (theoretical) contact to you is via your son Dilhan or via Gerald de Silva. Eventually, you may read this via one of them....
