In 1988 Merrill pioneered three important initiatives which have today become hallmarks of Dilmah.

Whilst commoditization amongst big brands has continued, Merrills Dilmah is distinct in being
Traditional Tea that is Single Origin Tea and packed Garden Fresh.
These are important because traditional tea, made in the orthodox style a production process
that starts with handpicking the leaves and continues through withering, rolling, oxidation and firing
follows a technique perfected over centuries. It produces tea that are varied and sophisticated.
The alternative is CTC, a relatively recent method of production designed to offer a quick cuppa and
in the process sacrifices all that is special in tea. Merrill describes CTC as tea without a soul.
Single Origin Tea unblended tea is important because one of the most desirable features in tea is
terroir the sense of place. Terroir dictates that tea grown in the Uva region at a certain time of
year, possesses the unique, signature taste that is the product of that unique climatic phenomenon.
It gives each valley, each region and each country its unique identity in tea. The lower cost option
though is to buy tea from wherever it is cheap for tea varies enormously in cost and blend it all
together to produce a multi-origin blend. That may work for coffee, but certainly not for tea.
Dilmah is Garden Fresh, for it is freshness that guarantees a rich, and satisfying cup, that is also
potent in healthy antioxidants.
Importantly, Merrill founded his Dilmah Tea on simple, family values. He understood as his mother
would often tell him that if he was successful, it was his obligation to share the benefits of his
success his workers and those less privileged in his community. At the heart of Dilmah therefore is
the commitment to making business a matter of human service.
Revenues from the global sales of Dilmah fund the work of the MJF Charitable Foundation in Sri
Lanka and abroad. Serving the community started modestly amongst the families of 18 staff that
Merrill started out with; at the time he was exporting bulk tea. With the launch of Dilmah and its
evolution into an international brand that obligation to serve has grown proportionately. Eventually
the MJF Charitable Foundation (www.mjffoundation.org) was formed to handle the expanding scale
of humanitarian assistance, and in parallel a commitment to work towards environmental
sustainability was developed with Dilmah Conservation (www.dilmahconservation.org)
The MJF Charitable Foundation enhances the lives of over 10,000 people each year through more
than 100 different humanitarian projects.
Merrill J. Fernando, his sons and the Dilmah Team today offer tea aficionados around the world a
truly different experience in tea. Dilmah presents an unmatched collection of teas, each tasted and
selected with the benefit of decades of experience in tea, and most importantly marked by genuine
innovation and a passion for quality.

The Dilmah Seven Star Luxury Tea Experience (SSLTE) logo has now been incorporated into
a full range of Dilmah Foodservice only packaging, and refill packs. The elegant logo
symbolizes the emphasis that Dilmah is placing on upgrading the quality of tea in
hospitality and in part of packaging upgrade that is intended to unif the Dilmah Foodservice
product range under the SSLTE banner.
