Fernando, founder of Dilmah and widely acknowledged as thepatriarch of the Ceylon tea industry. "Each of Dilmah's classic teas -- EarlGrey, English Afternoon, English Breakfast, Ceylon Supreme -- is createdaccording to tradition and from decades of experience."

"At the same time, hewanted to reward his growers and their families with a better deal for theirwork while investing in the community to make tea growing more sustainable. Bypackaging at source and through the activities of the MJF Foundation, we liketo say that Dilmah goes beyond fair trade -- we call it 'Ethical Trade'."
