drank Cherry & Almond by Dilmah
423 tasting notes

Cherry and almond play really nice together in a sensory way, because cherry stones and almonds share the same aroma and flavour compounds.
And they also fit nice in here, because there’s a lot of cherry flavour, just a touch of sourness and tartness plus solid almond foundation in the background.
I like it a lot. I would probably like it even more in winter, because it’s a very wintery flavour combo.

Flavors: Almond, Cherry, Stonefruit

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

I never seen this one around, but sounds nice!

drank Lemon & Lime by Dilmah

Smells fresh and citrusy, quite natural, without artificial notes. Partly juicy, partly zesty.
The same with taste – it’s very natural, refreshing, a bit sour, a bit tart.
One of the best bagged teas in Dilmah’s portfolio, methinks.

Flavors: Citrus, Lemon, Lemon Zest, Lime

drank Toffee Banana by Dilmah
423 tasting notes

Oh my, I kinda like Dilmah flavoured teas, but not when they contain caramel flavouring, because it is always so artificial. The same applies to toffee. Banana seems fairly natural.
And the taste? Quite bland and uninteresting/ Mainly banana with a touch of artificial caramel and toffee.
Nope.

Flavors: Absinthe, Artificial, Banana, Caramel, Toffee

drank Cinnamon by Dilmah

I’ve had a lot of flavoured Dimmah teas before and this one seems pretty straightforward when compared to them. Classic solid base black tea and a reasonable amount of cinnamon. Nothing else but it’s enough. A basic brew with only a touch of spice really works.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Malty, Spicy

Very warming and pleasant aroma, with nice interplay of ingredients: apple spiced with cinnamon and rounded up with vanilla.
In taste, as usual with Dilmah teas, there is a solid backbone of the decent black tea and the flavour part is certainly not overdone – in fact it is balanced.

Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Malty, Vanilla

drank Pineapple by Dilmah

Just like most of the Dilmah bagged teas, this one is also pretty decent, with solid black tea base and naturally-tasting pineapple flavour. Nothing extraordinary, of course, but decent as a casual tea.

Flavors: Malty, Pineapple

I have never had any Dilmah teas! I don’t know if it is sold around here but I will keep an eye out at World Market and Home Goods, just in case. It sounds like it is worth a try!

I honestly have no idea about their availability in the US. They are a Sri Lankan company, but they seem to be popular in Europe.
Good luck with your search!

It seems they have official website here: https://shop.dilmahtea.com/

I agree with you dreamloomer, they are again a bit more popular in Europe recently. I wonder if it is just a better marketing; but I see them more often than I used to a few years back.

Warming fruit tea, with slight fruity acidity, lots of fruit flavour (but not with cat litter notes sometimes associated with black currants), although it seems quite bland when steeped in my usual volume of 300 ml (200 ml would probably be much better). And although I almost never sweeten my teas, half a spoon of sugar merits this one, rounds up the flavours.

Flavors: Acidic, Apple, Black Currant, Fruity

One of my regular “while working at the computer” teas. Pretty solid, malty, relatively rich, drinkable, bland in such a way that it doesn’t deconcentrate me. There’s not much more to say about it, honestly.

Solid base tea, complex and natural orange flavour, nice overall drinking experience. Nothing extraordinary, because it’s still Lipton, but definitely decent.

Flavors: Ocean Air, Orange, Orange Zest

drank Sweet Cherry by Teekanne
423 tasting notes

I really like the warming quality of this one. It’s really fruity, mainly from cherries, but also from hibiscus, rosehips and apple. It’s not sweet and has a slight pleasant sourness. And I guess it’s also going to be nice as a cold brew.

Flavors: Apple, Cherry, Fruity, Hibiscus, Sour

Bio

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
