In September 1985 Dilmah Tea was born, realising a dream that teamaker Merrill J. Fernando had pursued for 35 years. It was a momentous occasion for the world - the first time real tea was offered to real tea people with the assurance of freshness, taste & goodness. 1985 also marked the debut of the first truly ethical tea, instilling into the very culture of Dilmah the importance of giving back while being sustainable and fairer for the planet and people involved. Harvesting great teas simply becomes greater when the intentions behind it are truly good and ethical. A celebration of these wonderful achievements by Merrill J. Fernando, the world’s most experienced teamaker, is why we are launching our finest handpicked, small batch artisanal teas - The 85 Reserve. The 85 Reserve and all its infusions have been personally selected and crafted by the master teamaker himself. From the first appearance in colour, to the second level of olfactory delight, all the way to the final frontier in taste - these meticulously crafted artisanal teas have excelled expectations to bring perfection into every single sip. A luxurious touch of indulgence into the everyday occasion. |
