Customer Rating: Summary: Dilmah Tea Comment: Dilmah Premium 100% Pure Ceylon Tea, Loose Leaf Tea, 4.4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
Absolutely the best tea I've had in years. I most often brew this tea in my Sunbeam Tea Drop machine using distilled water and it is suberb. The aromaa is full and the taste is brilliant.
I first came across this tea in a Singapore hotel room brewed in tea bags using tap water. It is also very good in this form. From my experience I think it would be difficult to get a bad cup!
Customer Rating: Summary: Great black tea! Comment: This tea comes in vacuumed sealed foil pouches inside 6 cardboard boxes. On cutting open the sealed pouch, you are treated to the fresh scent of pure black tea. I like that there are six small pouches rather than one big one, so that I know the tea won't go stale before I can use it all.
The leaves are definitely the highly prized top buds, and is "single-source" as the package info states (not blended with cheaper teas from other countries). You cannot over-brew this tea. It doesn't become bitter or acidic if you accidentally leave it brewing too long.
So far, I've only had it hot but can tell it will also make a great iced tea. Customer Rating: Summary: The best tea on the market Comment: For years tea lovers in the USA have had to resort to importing Dilmah, probably the finest in the world (it revolutionised the domestic tea market in Australia when it was introduced there twenty years ago). Beautifully fresh (vacuum packed), finest leaf, richly satisfying, fairly traded, among tea connoisseurs Dilmah is more an institution than a regular tea company. By purchasing their products, you will not only be indulging in the ultimate tea-drinker's experience, you'll also be helping a multitude of award-winning non-profit programmes instituted by Dilmah's enlightened management. There should be more products like this. Do yourself a favour and buy some today.
