Dilmah Tea Premium Decaffeinated Ceylon Tea | 50 Bags, Decaf Tea Bags | Caffeine-Free

Absolutely lovley tea with a delicate flavour

Well I dont drink this i got it for a friend who visits and they complimented on the tea so full marks

It’s not obvious from the taste that this is a decaf tea. The ceylon taste is only subtly different from a breakfast assam- it’s a little less malty, a little smoother maybe, but it’s in the same ballpark, and if you served somebody this with milk and told them it was just regular breakfast tea, they’d likely believe you. It’s very pleasant, and it can certainly be drunk as a black tea and it doesn’t need to be hidden by milk to make it palatable. The picture on the box shows a glowing, almost reddish brew, more pale than a rooibos, but even after you’ve brewed these teabags for only a few seconds, you get a much darker brown colour out of them which again makes it look like a ‘normal’ tea. Each teabag has an individual tag, handy for dipping into a mug and removing without a spoon. However each teabag isn’t individually bagged, all fifty come in one sealed foil liner, so if you’re buying these for catering or presentation purposes (for example at a b-and-b) that might be an unwanted omission. But for keeping the amount of waste down overall, I think it’s a good move. Unfortunately, pleasant though this tea is, it’s really a bit too ordinary, even if the decaf factor is a bonus. The current asking price of six quid for a pack of fifty teabags seems a little bit too steep, and it’s on that basis it falls just short of five stars for me.

I've been drinking Decaf tea for over 10yrs and I've tried lots of different types all ranging in price, leaf and brand. This is my favourite. Unfortunately decaf tea in my experience can be a little bit bland so I was very happy to try this. I now buy it all the time. HOWEVER if Mr Ahmed is out there, the tea doesn't need to be individually packaged and also please do a bigger box. Amazon struggle to protect the small ones, nevermind 2 or 3 when I buy in bulk.

Unfortunately this tea is far stronger than I expected, so I won’t be buying it again.

Very nice tea bags I will buy again.

These tea bags were dissapointing, they did not have the distinctive taste of Ceylon tea at all, rather much like the flavour of a cheaper decaf tea without paying a premium price.

I usually buy Dilmah for its distinct, fresh Ceylon fragrance, but this recent decaf purchase was a major letdown. The signature 'nice smell' is completely missing, replaced by a flat, dull aroma that lacks the usual quality. It seems like a stale batch or a dip in production standards. Very disappointing for a brand that usually prides itself on garden-fresh tea.
