Product Description

Finely balanced richness, flavour, strength & aroma for the perfect tea. Tea perfect for everyday drinking from the central highlands of Sri Lanka, reputed for its brightness & medium strength. 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, new to the U.S, 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 Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), producer of the world's finest tea. Single Origin explains why Dilmah is fresher, richer & full of flavour. Discerning tea drinkers will recognise the distinct difference in the very first sip. 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.

This review is from: Dilmah Premium 100% Pure Ceylon Tea, 50-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) tea is the best tea in the world! If you can't get the pure, unlabelled tea leaves, plucked off the cool hills of up country Sri Lanka, this the next best thing. I usually get my tea directly from SL but when I run out I have to fall back on Dilmah...and having moved here from Australia (where the tea is widely available), I'm very happy that Dilmah is finally available in the US.

Update - March 18th, 2010
I've been drinking Dilmah Premium for a long time now and love it but lately wanted to widen my horizon; With that in mind, I tried the Dilmah Supreme and Dilmah English Breakfast. Dilmah Supreme rated an average on my scale but ah, the English Breakfast! If you wish to have an extra special cup of tea, bold and rich in flavour with subtle nuances, then the English Breakfast is definitely your cup of tea! While more expensive than the Dilmah Premium, it is well worth the price! Enjoy...:)

This review is from: Dilmah Premium 100% Pure Ceylon Tea, 50-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I am from New Zealand living in the USA and have been getting this sent over as I have not found any other black tea that is this tasty. It is nicely balanced and perfect black or with some milk. Love it!!!! So happy I can finally purchase it from within the USA and not spend so much money having it sent over from New Zealand.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, pure tea, February 13, 2008

I grew up in Sri Lanka and had the opportunity to enjoy different types of tea. Since I moved a while ago I have had this shipped to me from Sri Lanka and I've enjoyed every cup. I go through about 3-4 cups every day and I can't say anything bad about them. I know I can't expect the perfect cup of tea that I used to have in Sri Lanka but this brings back memories.
If you like pure tea with no additives this is the one for you. I hate those "flavored" tea sold at stores but this always puts a smile on my face.
