DilmahPremium 100% Pure Ceylon Tea, 50-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6)

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, 2010I'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...:)

Great flavor, strong but not acidic.

Doesn’t taste like Dilmah tea. Has a hint of tea flavor no matter how many tea bags you add

I'm sorry, I simply do not see what the hype is about. I've been a tea drinker for decades, always in pursuit of a full, deep and well-balanced cup of tea, for breakfast or mid-day; especially, for convenience, in bag form. This particular brew I would rate just one notch (barely) above standard Lipton or Tetley tea bags. For a large cup of tea, at least two bags are needed to impart even the slightest hint of depth. It smells interesting enough in the box, but there simply is no depth here. Perhaps I have been spoiled by costlier loose teas over the years, and from some authentic Sri Lankan tea bags given to me by a close Sri Lankan friend. I will not go out of my way to purchase this particular tea again.Am I missing something??

I'm from Singapore and have been drinking tea all my life. I've been drinking Dilmah for many, many years (in Singapore) and when I migrated to USA, I was lost without Dilmah. I wrote several emails to the President of Dilmah in Sri Lanka, asking them to sell their tea in USA. I paid expensive postage/handling, to get the tea shipped to me, directly from Sri Lanka.I was the happiest person on Planet Earth when they told me that Dilmah was available (online) in USA. I did request for a 100piece teabag packagings instead of 50pcs.....I guess....they may not have that kind of demand here in USA. I hope that they will consider sending 100pc per package..as it will be more cost saving, for customers like me.

Obviously tea bags are more convenient for a single cup of tea than using loose teas. But they suffer in comparison to a nice loose single estate Ceylon. I have a friend from Sri Lanka and his parents bring some pretty good tea as gifts when they come to visit, sometimes in teabags. But they are hard, or close to impossible, to find here in the U.S. I usually make a single cup of tea in the afternoon and these are my preferred tea bags. If you like Ceylon,and want it in a bag, I would recommend this brand for the price.

The tea itself is a decent tea. They pay attention to the quality. But seems greedy seller. The following is their price during the years of my orders.May 2013 : $21.92Nov 2014 : $25.16Jun 2015 : $27.21Jul 2016 : $35.00Mar 2017 : $39.24 Not going to buy nowJun 2017 : $ 42.98They ship from Sri Lanka. During these years Dollar has hardened and if at all it should be cheaper. But price just keeps going up, up and up every three, four months. GREEDY.

We visited the Buckingham Palace this past summer and I bought a Coronation Tea Caddy commemorating Queen Elizabeth II's coronation 60 years ago. The decorative tin contained Pure Ceylon Tea, a Coronation blend for Queen Elizabeth II. I fell in love with the tea and had to find a tea to replace it before my 50 tea bags were gone and I went through withdrawal symptoms. I went online researching Ceylon Tea and found this brand. I did a taste test with Dilmah tea and the Coronation Blend and they tasted exactly the same...DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this tea to any tea lover.
