Did you know? Our #Dilmahtea has found its way into the most delicious recipes, like the Swiss Roll at Sam's Club in #China . Perfect for #teatime, it is a light and aromatic treat that combines the refined flavours of #EarlGrey tea in the creamy filling and airy sponge cake. Beneath the soft, cloud-like sweetness is the aroma of Dilmah tea.

It makes us smile to learn about how Dilmah is creating #teamoments in different corners of the globe. If you have a story to share, comment below.

Landmark ruling in the Advisory Opinion by the ICJ on Climate Change.
1.5 degree C is legally the Planetary limit.
All countries are legally obliged to comply.
Even fossil-fuel subsidies can be illegal.
States have duty to solve the planet crisis and can be held accountable.

Manufacturing isn't just factories — it's a range of R&D and engineering capabilities, including lots of high-tech services.

This is why every country with a strong manufacturing base also has a strong science and technology base. They are intrinsically connected.
