    The Structural Fragility of "Small and Beautiful"

    by YU GEN QIANG ...
    Series Book 7 - Beyond the Cup: Seven Tea Brands, Seven Mirrors
    Of all the world's tea companies, Dilmah most resembles an underdog film. Its founder, Merrill J. Fernando, was less an entrepreneur than a Don Quixote — over thirty-eight years he went from tea taster to founder of one of the world's ten largest tea brands, not to make money, but to "take tea back from the multinationals and return it to the growers."But the film does not end as a comedy. Dilmah ... Read more

Twinings has family roots back to 1706; Ito En enjoys the protection of a closed Japanese market; TWG holds the pricing power of a luxury narrative. KTDA has none of these. It is a colonial inheritance — a system designed by institutional fiat to "produce but never share."Behind the numbers lies systematic, ... Read more
