The Teamaker’s Private Reserve from Dilmah Family

The Teamaker’s Private Reserve is an ecletic collection of rare, fine teas, each handpicked by Merril J. Fernando, Founder of Dilmah, to represent the finest in tea.

Showing a myriad of flavours, textures and colours, the teas in this collection represent the finest in teamaker’s world of tea. Dilmah was the first producer-owned tea brand, and offered tea ‘picked, perfected and packed’ at the origin. Unlike the multi-origin blends that monopolised supermarket shelves, Dilmah brought tea that is freshly packed at the source and therefore rich in flavour and natural goodness. Dilmah is unique; a brand that is founded on a passionate commitment to quality and authenticity in tea, it is also a part of a philosophy that goes beyond commerce in seeing business as a matter of human service. This is what makes Dilmah the first ethically produced tea.

Merrill J Fernando has been felicitated for his determination in bringing the finest tea to the world, for his commitment to genuine ethics and his perseverance in encouraging his peers to share his belief in both.
