Product Description

An aromatic floral note yields the citrus flavor of original Earl Grey. A strong Ceylon Tea is the base of this elegant and refined experience. The slightly earthy character of this tea is beautifully balanced by the sweet, floral bergamot flavor. ABOUT THE BRAND Some years ago, Americans drank mainly Ceylon Tea, the world's finest. Today, almost any brand you buy is a multi-origin blend that is a mix of teas from several countries. Dilmah is the number one brand of authentic, garden fresh Single Origin Ceylon tea in over 90 countries. Dilmah is Single Origin, 100% Pure Ceylon, entirely grown, handpicked & packaged in Sri Lanka, producer of the world's finest tea. Single Origin explains why Dilmah is fresher, richer & full of flavor. Dilmah is packed at Source, Garden Fresh. Packaging in Sri Lanka, within days of picking fresh leaf in the tea fields, maximizes freshness, the key to antioxidants in tea. Founder Merrill J. Fernando is the most senior master tea taster today and his face appears on every pack of Dilmah tea, as his personal guarantee of the quality & freshness of Dilmah. Merrill & his two sons Dilhan & Malik (from whose names the brand name was coined) offer aficionados a truly different experience of tea. Dilmah is Traditionally Manufactured. Ordinary teas have abandoned the centuries' old "orthodox" method of manufacture for the fast track "CTC" (cut twist curl) process, to meet demand for a quicker brew from tea bags. This has sacrificed the character & real taste of tea. Dilmah stands firmly by traditional tea making methods, which explains why Dilmah tea tastes so different. Dilmah is the world's first truly ethical tea. It is the only international brand name owned by tea growers. We pack our tea shelf ready, right where it is grown. Earnings therefore remain in Sri Lanka for the benefit of our workers. Visit www.mjffoundation.org and Dilmah.com to learn more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Earl Grey!, March 21, 2008

This is the best tea I've ever tasted - period! Each canister has a double lid plus comes sealed in plastic to preserve the flavor. On opening the lid, the rush of bergamot aroma hits your nose. Wow! You also smell the flavor of the black tea (unlike some other Earl Grey brands where all you get is the bergamot). The leaves are indeed the prized small buds from the top of the plant.

This tea cannot be over-brewed. I left it longer than 5 minutes a couple of times and it never became bitter or acidic. Always you taste the smooth black tea and the bergamot is strong but never over-powering.

I also like that you're supporting a local grower and the workers instead of being syphoned off into a large mega-corporation.

If you like Earl Grey, get this tea! You won't be disappointed.

This review is from: Dilmah Tea, Earl Grey Tea, Loose Leaf, 4.4-Ounce Tins (Pack of 3) (Grocery)

My entire family enjoys this loose leaf tea! It is our favorite. We're very picky about our tea and this is good quality. The flavor is mellow even though it's an Earl Grey. It isn't bitter like some teas, but smooth. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't. I am a repeat customer.
