The World's
Most Experienced Teamaker
#DoTryIt
Some thirty four years ago I got a chance to taste a cup of great black tea. At the time I was not familiar with the brand, but its intensive taste and aroma made an impression on me. Six years later my father and I remembered it when selecting new products for import to Lithuanian market.
It was 1994 year and soon the first shipment of Dilmah tea arrived directly from Sri Lanka. This is how we got acquainted with Dilmah and Fernando family. Since then it has been a great pleasure to cooperate with Mr. Merrill, Dilhan, Malik and all Dilmah team.
Mr. Merrill Fernando has showed how to create and develop a new type of business - a business which is innovate & successful and at the time is kind to its employees and to the local community.
Having an incredible passion for tea, caring for people and being a great father - those are the three distinctive characteristics of Mr. Merrill that explain why we admire him so much.
Very Happy 92nd Birthday, dear Merrill!
