Where Our Tea Comes From

Origin

Sri Lanka

Indian Ocean Island, South Asia

The story behind Exquisitely Flavoured Teas (EFT) in Sri Lanka is rooted in the country’s rich heritage as the home of Ceylon tea, combined with a modern evolution of taste and craftsmanship. Sri Lanka has long been celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest single-origin teas, grown across distinct regions with unique climates and elevations. Building on this foundation, the concept of Exquisitely Flavoured Teas emerged as a way to elevate traditional tea into a more experiential and contemporary offering.

Rather than blending teas from multiple countries, the approach begins with pure, handpicked Ceylon tea from specific regions, preserving its natural character

Dilmah Loose Leaf Black Tea

My first experience with this Dilmah tea was in a hotel in Singapore after a long trip. I recall my first sip as being the best tea that I had ever tasted and the next day I went to the store next door and purchased some to take home. That was over twenty years ago and I still find it to be my favorite tea.

Great Tea - Loose or Bagged

I have been buying Dilma tea online for twenty years. The tea bags are convenient, but the loose tea is even better. I have recommended it to many, many friends.

Supreme quality

It's rare to find good quality Orange Pekoe Ceylon Tea, here in Rome, and that's why I order it directly from a reliable producer in Sri Lanka!

Premium Ceylon Black Tea-250g Loose Leaf.

After a long flight from the USA, I first tasted Dilmah tea at a hotel in Singapore. It was so refreshing that I bought some to take home, and I've been enjoying it ever since.
