Description
Dark mottled greens, brow-blacks and blue-ash colors were found in the loose leaf with a good twist tending to be knotty. The infused leaf is open semi leaf of a khaki-green-red colour. In taste, this golden orange, green tinged tea offers a pointed smokiness in aroma. In the mouth, there is a ripe Brazilian nut flavor allied with a hint of sweetness.Then one senses the chewy tannins. Altogether a superb Ceylon tea of bold and persuasive demeanor. ABOUT THE BRAND 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. Dilmah, new to the U.S, is the number one brand of authentic, garden fresh Single Origin Ceylon tea in over 95 countries. Dilmah is Single Origin, 100% Pure Ceylon, entirely grown, handpicked and packaged in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), producer of the world's finest tea. Single Origin explains why Dilmah is fresher, richer and full of flavour. Founder Merrill J. Fernando is the most senior master tea taster today and his face appears on every pack of Dilmah tea, as his personal guarantee of the quality and freshness of Dilmah. Dilmah is Traditionally Manufactured. 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 and real taste of tea. Dilmah stands firmly by traditional tea making methods, which explains why Dilmah tea tastes so different. Dilmah is the worlds first truly ethical tea. It 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 www.Dilmahtea.com to learn more.
