Use spring water with Dilmah or draw fresh cold water into a clean, dry kettle and bring to a boil. Never use reboiled water. Pour into a clean pre-warmed tea pot containing one tea bag per person or into a mug (ideally with a lid, to preserve the aroma) containing one bag. Stir the tea after a minute and let it brew for two more minutes. Add dairy milk and bees honey if you enjoy tea white & sweet. If the tea is too strong for your taste, add more boiling water. Do not brew for less than three minutes. Now enjoy real tea, the taste of authentic, traditional Pure Ceylon Tea.
Some years ago, Americans drank mainly Ceylon Tea, the world's finest. Today, almost any brand you buy is a multi-origin blend that is a mix of teas from several countries, in order to lower cost. Dilmah, new to the U.S, is the number one brand of authentic, garden fresh Single Origin Ceylon tea in over 90 countries.
Single Origin 100% Pure Ceylon
Dilmah is entirely grown, handpicked & packaged in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), producer of the world's finest tea. Single Origin explains why Dilmah is fresher, richer & full of flavour. Discerning tea drinkers will recognize the distinct difference in the very first sip.
Packed at Source, Garden Fresh
Packaging in Sri Lanka, within days of picking fresh leaf in the tea fields, maximizes freshness, the key to antioxidants in tea.
Family Commitment
Founder Merrill J. Fernando’s face appears on every pack of Dilmah tea, as his personal guarantee of the quality & freshness of Dilmah. Merrill & his two sons Dilhan & Malik (from whose names the brand name was coined) offer aficionados a truly different experience of tea.
Traditional Manufacture
Ordinary teas have abandoned the centuries’ old "orthodox" method of manufacture for the fast track "CTC" (cut twist curl) process, to meet demand for a quicker brew from tea bags. This has sacrificed the character & real taste of tea. Dilmah stands firmly by traditional tea making methods, which explains why Dilmah tea tastes so different.
Dilmah is the world’s first truly ethical tea.
Dilmah is the only international brand name owned by tea growers. We pack our tea shelf ready, right where it is grown. Earnings therefore remain in Sri Lanka for the benefit of our workers. Visit www.mjffoundation.org and Dilmah.com to learn more.
