Our new, exclusive partnership with Sri Lankan tea company, Dilmah, helps towards our objective to source all our drinks from sustainable businesses. It also helps us meet growing consumer demand for premium tea.

Placing equal emphasis on the taste of its tea and the strength of its ethics, the family-run company uses traditional methods to produce a highly distinctive, single-origin Ceylon tea. Sustainability is at the heart of its operation: all packaging profits stay in Sri Lanka, helping to fund the company’s philanthropic venture, MJF Charitable Foundation, and its environmental and wildlife charity, Dilmah Conservation. In recognition, Dilmah’s founder,Merrill J Fernando, was named an Oslo Business for Peace Honouree in 2015 and received the FIRST Award for Responsible Capitalism a year later.

We will serve the full range of Dilmah products in our restaurants, cafés and hospitality operations, including the black, green, Oolong and infusion varieties.
