Dilmah Tea, the world-renowned family tea company celebrated for its uncompromised quality, single-origin integrity, and ethical philosophy, has officially opened the Dilmah Urban Estate Malaysia at Bangsar Village, Kuala Lumpur.
Marking its first global footprint outside Sri Lanka following its Colombo debut, the Kuala Lumpur flagship establishes an immersive, modernist lifestyle sanctuary that bridges traditional tea heritage with contemporary urban dining. The launch was officiated by Dilhan C. Fernando, Chairman and CEO of Dilmah Tea. Also in attendance was Datuk William Ng, President of the Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (SAMENTA).
An Estate-to-Cup Urban Sanctuary
Dilmah Urban Estate serves as a culinary sanctuary that reimagines traditional tea culture by fusing modernist sophistication with the rich heritage of terroir and provenance. Spanning dining, mixology, education, and retail, the space reinterprets the journey of Ceylon tea:
• Authentic Single-Origin Ceylon Tea: Sourced 100% from Sri Lanka’s premier high-, mid-, and low-grown elevations, picked by hand and crafted the orthodox way, preserving origin, character, and terroir.
• Pioneering Tea Gastronomy & Mixology: A curated culinary menu where single-estate teas are celebrated both as an ingredient and an inspiration -ranging from artisan hot brews and chilled sparkling infusions to craft mocktails and elevated tea-infused savouries and desserts.
• Nature-Inspired Biophilic Design: The space mirrors the calm elegance of a working tea estate – blending natural wood, raw stone, and sustainable textures with modern finishes to recreate the serenity of the misty Ceylon highlands within bustling Bangsar.
Business as a Matter of Human Service: A Cup of Kindness
In line with Dilmah’s core founding philosophy that “business is a matter of human service,” a minimum of 15% of Dilmah’s pre-tax profits globally are channelled directly to the MJF Charitable Foundation and Dilmah Conservation. Every cup enjoyed at Dilmah Urban Estate Bangsar contributes directly to positive social impact; empowering underprivileged women and children, supporting healthcare and education in farming communities, and championing environmental conservation across Sri Lanka.
Dilmah Urban Estate Bangsar Village is open daily to the public starting 10 November 2026.
