There is something more magical about Ceylon Tea than the taste .. that is its history, which is rooted in its truamatic colonial history but blossomed into an agricultural endeavour characterised by artisrty, dedication, and eventually embraced a large part of our economy with influence in the spheres of politics, society and economy.
We have been working hard for the past 5 years to collect aspects of that heritage and share it with people around the world whose lose for tea exceeds taste alone. Please visit History of Ceylon Tea, an industry service project we at Dilmah embarked upon 5 years ago.
