Dilmaht-Series Brilliant Breakfast Tea - 100g Luxury Loose Leaf Tin Caddy | Exquisite Breakfast tea - Robust, Full-Bodied Ceylon Tea with Rich Color, Strength, and Aroma

I lived for a year in London and my best friend was from Sri Lanka and made sure I knew what good tea tastes like. Later, visiting Australia, I attended a play where the characters always asked "is it Dilmah?" when someone offered tea. This tea lived up to all my expectations and brought back great memories. I steeped 1 teaspoon in a tea strainer for something like 10 minutes (was aiming for 5 but got busy and forgot about it). Added some cream and took a sip and was immediately transported. Good strength and depth and goes great with cream. I also was very happy with the attention to detail in the tin design. The whole tin was shrink-wrapped and then the tin itself has an inner lid that keeps the tea protected when you pop the top. Removing that lid, the tea is in a vacuum-packed mylar bag, which I cut open (ah the fragrance) and took what I needed and then tucked right back into the tin. There was also a small booklet that I only glanced at, but I think it was about all their teas. This is great stuff and I am going to enjoy drinking it.

We are big tea drinkers in our household, and I recently picked up a tin of Dilmah's t-Series Ceylon Black Tea. It's a loose leaf blend, and the first thing that struck me was the aroma is rich and malty, with a hint of spice. I use my coffee maker with a tea basket, and it worked perfectly for steeping this tea. The leaves brewed up a deep amber color, and the taste lived up to the smell. It's definitely robust and full-bodied, with a good kick of caffeine, but not overly bitter. I like that it has depth to the flavor, with hints of caramel and maybe even a touch of citrus. It's definitely a strong cup of tea, perfect for mornings or a needed afternoon pick me up. I've also enjoyed it with a splash of milk and honey for a bit of sweetness and creaminess. It's a high-quality loose leaf blend that delivers on flavor and strength.

While I love coffee some mornings I want some tea so when I saw this I decided to give it a shot. It came packaged just fine with no spills or anything. Getting it out it is a tin of loose-leaf tea that smells amazing. I fired up my kettle and let some steep for ~5 mins. I poured it and took a drink it was a pretty good black tea nothing crazy just a solid black tea. I then added the magic to it (cream and a touch of sugar) and it was a great breakfast drink. If you like black tea this is pretty solid.

I found this Dilmah T-Series Brilliant Breakfast to be exceptional at first sip. It boasts a remarkably fresh and bright taste. While it carries briskness, the astringency is perfectly balanced, creating a harmonious blend. When I add honey and cream, it transforms into a magical cup, revealing floral, buttery, and caramel notes.This tea appears to be a broken orange pekoe, releasing robust flavors within just 3 minutes. I haven't extended the brewing time much beyond that, as I aim to avoid excessive briskness. However, I'm curious about the potential for an even richer cup. I use 1tsp per 8oz of water and brew for 3 to 3.5 minutes loose in a tea pot and pour through a sieve instead of cramming it into a tea ball or infuser. Experimenting with longer steeping times might uncover additional layers of flavor, given the evident potential of this tea. I will be buying this again when I run out.

My normal cup of tea is Earl Grey, but having an occasional cup of Ceylon is nice to mix up the tastebuds from time to time. And this one is exceptional. I typically steep my teas a little longer than indicated because I like a robust flavor, and this loose leaf did not disappoint. I may have to add this to my daily rotation a little more often.

I am a casual tea drinker, but this tea is so nice, it makes me feel much fancier than I am. I love the flavor, it’s smooth and delicious, easy to drink but more interesting and impressive than the tea bags I normally use. This tea along with a steeping ball and/or mug would make for an excellent gift for the tea drinker in your life, the tin is lovely and durable. It even has a second layer to the lid to keep the tea extra fresh. It’s also great as a gift to oneself, I am enjoying it and it feels like a treat.

I am definitely a new fan of this tea brand. The tea came in a gorgeous tin with a little pamphlet introducing the teas. I love ceylon black teas, it is just a great tea to start the day and this Brilliant Breakfast is aptly named. The tea was very rich and dark. I use a longer steep with this one to really bring out the bold bitter dark flavors of ceylon and drink it as is with no milk or sugar.

I am really enjoying this tea! High quality tea - rich taste and the aroma is unbelievable - its such a treat! The packaging is fantastic - a lot of care went into this product and making sure that it is at its best for you to use it.
