Oh Dilmah, I'm a pretty big fan of you. You're always top quality and your flavors always come through so nicely. Plus your farm is ethical and your tea is single origin, meaning you can taste the pureness of Ceylon. And you have the obligatory Lemon flavor, which is usually overpowering and used to cover up bad tea. But your staff are professionals, they know how to properly balance the flavors. Do they? Let's find out.
Outsides: Like other products in this line, Dilmah individually wraps its sachets in paper and foil. The tea is a nice golden color with a lemon scent that smells stronger than natural but isn't as strong as Lemon Pine-Sol. The best way to describe it is that it smells like a Lemonhead.
Insides: Here's the thing. Ceylon is a much stronger tea than green tea, meaning it can take the lemon flavor. The lemon is still a bit overpowering, but it's tolerable and basically, this is close to what I want in a lemon tea. It's strong, but isn't just sour or scent, giving off the fullness of citrus flavor. This would be fantastic cold and I'd actually recommend getting this brand of Dilmah for that purpose. The tea is strong but not too bitter and the lemon is strong but not overpowering.
Overall: I recommend this for iced tea. I mean, people are going crazy for Arnold Palmers so why not this?
My Rating: Buy it (if you can find it cheap)! Here's the link: Dilmah Lemon
