On this table, with his own hand, our Founder Merrill J. Fernando, wrote the word ‘Dilmah’ for his brand of single-origin Ceylon teas. It signified so much; coined from the names of his two sons, Dilhan and Malik, and ingrained with a mission to make business a matter of human service.
This valued table was recently restored with care and respect, knowing it carries more than wood and time; it carries beginnings and futures. Today, it returns to its rightful place in our Dilmah Chairman’s office, ready to witness new chapters and a legacy passed from one generation to the next.
In this special moment, we remember where Dilmah comes from; from family, from purpose, from the heart.
