The Cook and his new Pots

10 years ago Dilmah, Ethics

Fulfillment – defined variously as ‘measuring up to,’ ‘completing’, ‘bringing into effect’ and so on – must rank as one of life’s great emotions whether applied to one’s job, one’s promises, one’s dream or in fact any form of human endeavour.

The beauty in the leaf

10 years ago Dilmah, Facts of Tea, Images of Tea, tea, Unbelievable Tea Experiences

Here’s where it all starts, the two tender leaves and the bud.
