Kia Ora Mr Fernando,
The philosophy that you created through your brand Dilmah, has been one that has resonated with me since I was a kid. Not only did your delicious Ceylon tea make the nation of Sri Lanka proud but also gives us Sri Lankans living away from home pride in our nation.
When the opportunity rose to be part of the t-Lounge by Dilmah team here in Wellington New Zealand, I jumped at the opportunity. I always knew that this was a brand I could always stand proudly by. Since beginning my journey with Dilmah, not only has my passion for tea grown, but it has also connected me to people around the world through tea. Being the tea mixologist here has been a wonderful experience and I am forever grateful to be part of such a wonderful organisation. It would be my pleasure to make a cup of tea for you the next time you visit us here in New Zealand.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful brand and for helping keep the authenticity of our nation globally. Wishing you a successful and fulfilled 92nd Birthday all the way from Aotearoa.
Kindest wishes
Senuka Sudusinghe
