Very poor tea. Old Simple flavor. Not nearly as good as teas I’ve been buying from Dilmah for years.

Worlds Best Tea

Superb tea!! from the packaging, to the whole website of endless choices and new sumptuous types of new teas to try

Nilagama estate prize

This low country Estate has yielded a delicious liquor. The taste profile is complex and lasting (to be savored). Before I even get close enough to recognize what a great nose it has, I realize the color is pleasing to the eyes. I chose cookies as the sweetener. A great pairing. A great experience. My curiosity leads me to find-out in which region this estate is located.

Wonderful tea

I love this tea from Dilmah! It is very fresh and flavorful. I noticed a bit of malt but also notice very subtle floral & fruit flavors as well. It is robust enough to take milk or cream very well. The packaging is beautiful and superior, and the whole experience is just delightful. I look forward to drinking this tea each day. I will purchase again!
