High Grown 4600 feet above sea level. An estate of 460 hectares, Somerset is in the famous Dimbula Valley on the Western slopes of Sri Lanka's Tea Country. Tea was first planted here in the 1870s after the flourishing coffee industry was destroyed by a leaf blight. Tasting Notes Medium brown with tints of orange. An almost savory taste. Fruity, exotic perfume with a 'balance' in taste from the ample tannins, strong but not brooding. Comparable to a Pinot Noir wine made from grapes grown in cool climates. A tea that is delicate, radiant and elegant. ABOUT THE BRAND Some years ago, Americans drank mainly Ceylon Tea, the worlds 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 90 countries. Dilmah is Single Origin, 100% Pure Ceylon, 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 flavor. Discerning tea drinkers will recognize the distinct difference in the very first sip. Dilmah is 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. 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 & freshness of Dilmah. Dilmah is the world’s 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 Dilmah.com to learn more.

Customer Reviews:
Customers rated Dilmah Single Estate Tea, Somerset Estate, Pekoe, 20-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 2) 5.0 stars out of 5.0 based on 1 reviews:Lovely tea - afraid I may develop an obsession here...
by Ann McCann (Boston MA) - 2009-07-10

I bought this first in an Amazon promotion - I'm a total cheapy, not as involved with tea as some of my friends. I roast my own coffee, and only think of tea as sort of a break from espresso..... That said: this is lovely black tea. the flavor is exquisite, cleaner and less muddy than other brands I've tried. The silk tea bags are so luxurious,but the tea inside tastes much better than the gift store silk triangle teas. It's so good, I think I'll have to pay full price and check out some of the other estate teas!
