Tea

Dilmah has a tea for every mood and occasion, from everyday gourmet tea to luxury teas & infusions, and extraordinary gifts of tea.

A natural luxury, offering taste, sensory adventure, antioxidant wellness and kindness in every sip. Luxury in the 21st century is defined by nature. Each of our teas offers the fingerprint of nature in the elegance of the leaf, the complexity of the brewed liquor, their aroma, taste, texture, and finally the goodness in every sip.

The variety in tea is without equal amongst any beverage on account of the subtle variations that exist even within a single tea garden and the dramatic differences between tea from different regions and tea made in different styles. This variety is at the heart of luxury in tea and made especially unique by the fact that the variations on the eye, nose and tongue come from the leaves of one plant – Camellia sinensis.

“Pure Ceylon Tea is a joyful fusion of the cool, dry breeze of our highlands, the balmy, warm winds of the wet lowlands, the dexterous but caring hands of our tea pickers, and the artisanal skills of our traditional teamakers. It has no peer in the tea-producing world.”

Merrill J. Fernando, Founder of Dilmah Tea

“The simple act of pouring a cup of tea is, in itself, an icebreaker, providing pleasurable anticipation of the goodness that is to follow. I have dedicated my life towards providing that cup; not only to solve problems but to add sunshine, to our day, with every sip of Dilmah.”
