At Dilmah, our journey to crafting exceptional teas begins with a deep-rooted commitment to the communities where our tea is grown. Kahawatte Plantations, nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, has been central to our heritage for generations. Our dedication to the well-being of our tea harvesters and estate workers extends beyond their immediate needs and into the future of the Kahawatte Plantations community.
We believe that education is the cornerstone of a brighter tomorrow. From newborns to university undergrads, we are proud to support the educational aspirations of every youngster in the Kahawatte Plantations. Currently, we provide scholarships to 674 students, of which 397 bright minds are pursuing university degrees. In addition to education, we prioritise the holistic development of young children by providing a comprehensive nutrition programme.
Our commitment to kindness has been a cornerstone of Dilmah’s philosophy for over three decades. A significant portion of our pre-tax profits – actually 15% – is allocated to initiatives that improve the lives of people and protect the environment.
