Dilmah Tea

It is often said that at the heart of gastronomy is the harmony of flavours on the tongue. That is why it took over 50 tasting sessions to make some of our Exquisitely Flavoured Tea- it's our respect for tea.

The gentle sweetness of ripe strawberry produces a mild and fragrant tea. It is delightful, refined, fragrant and delicious.

What an honour - nine years in a row! Dilmah is once again the Most Trusted Tea Brand in New Zealand, according to the Reader's Digest Trusted Brands Awards.

Fernando forward when he said “Do Try It” in 1991. For Dilmah, it's about more than awards - it's about family, trust, and sharing a cup that inspires.

Thank you, New Zealand, for making Dilmah a part of your family!

Introducing the Natural Luxury Sommelier Challenge: the globe-trotting quest where top-notch F&B experts, unleash their inner alchemists, transforming natural ingredients into culinary masterpieces. This competition is set to dazzle with high-end experiences that redefine fine dining, one dish at a time.

Join us as we take this gastronomic adventure worldwide, starting from Sri Lanka, the land of the world’s finest tea, proving that nature is the ultimate inspiration.

This World Environment Day, we are excited to announce that we are launching an agroforestry model in Rilhena in collaboration with Kahawatte Plantations and Agriculture Innovation Nucleus in Sri Lanka! This is the latest among a host of green restoration initiatives that include our flagship project of building a Biodiversity Corridor through an abandoned tea land to link two separated forest reserves.

Our green initiatives align with Sri Lanka's NDC of restoring forest cover by 32% and the global call to restore 1 billion hectares by 2030.

We believe the success of this model will pave the way to extend agroforestry to our other tea estates. The transition from monoculture will have many benefits such as enhancing biodiversity, crop yield, water management, resistance to pests and diseases, soil health and climate resilience. Apart from planting forest trees, we are also planning to establish cash crops such as durians, rambutans, garcinia, and pepper at the site.

We have some exciting news from our Bee A Keeper project! We've been buzzing with anticipation to expand our efforts to the East, and guess what? – Turns out, the East has ideal conditions for beekeeping.

Our sustainable beekeeping training sessions in the community of Kalkudah have been met with eagerness. Fast forward to May and we are distributing bee boxes so that people like Selliah Navamani (35) and T. Jeevanandarajah (31) can begin beekeeping sustainably.

And that's not all – we're spreading the buzz about sustainable wild bee harvesting. By training wild bee harvesters in eco-friendly methods, we're ensuring that both the trees and the hives are left unharmed during honey collection.

Dilmah’s Bee A Keeper project aims to uplift rural communities by introducing sustainable beekeeping in Endane, Kalkudah and Nawalapitiya through training and workshops, capacity building and bee research.
