Dilmah

The leafs look very appealing. The odor is very enchanting…lots of citrus, very fruity, very promising.
However after my first brew done with water on boiling point I had to hold on to myself to not spit it out immediately.
The tea takes an immense grasp on one’s tongue and as soon as the tea has reached the stormach a nauseous feeling is on approach. I went on in reducing the portion of leafs for the next brew and kept going with boiling water…same result.
Then I started to reduce the water temperature and came to the conclusion that this blend only is drinkable below 70degrees Celcius. It mildens the tea a lot and even gets a bit of sweet, charming aftertaste out of it.
Now, during writing this, I secretly hope someone from Dilmah gets to read this…lol…
Anyways, the moral of this, my dear folks is: never give up and take up with the challenge!

Very aromatic, slight hint of a yerba I had a few days back. Flavors not too strong, in fact barely noticeable unless you over brew it. Nice color however.

Dilmah is delicious!
Clean and well-balanced, this premium black tea is very easy to drink. It tastes great all the way through the cup, with the just the right amount of strength and tannin.
After tasting it plain, I like to add a little milk and sugar to my black tea… just a pinch of sugar went a long way to really brighten this one up.
If I had an everyday black tea, this one would be my top choice.

Very good this morning :) best morning wakeup!

Reminiscent of a very high quality Darjeeling, but with stronger tannins. The flavor blooms and expands in your mouth. Woodsy, oak-like scent to the dry leaf and liquor. Light like a Darjeeling or a crisp Chardonnay, but fully flavored with layers of depth in taste and aroman

I was so astonished that this tea wasn’t in Steepster’s database, I kind of need it to function, not to say pass any exams… It arrived a few days ago, so I’m halfway through the first can by now… Along with Meda Watte and Twinings Ceylon Breakfast, the best tea out there…

good quality tea =]

I’m just drinking it black, but I have a feeling it would also be good with a tiny amount of milk…the kind of tea you drink with little biscuits or after a classy meal ;)
really sweet and light.
