Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5

This inexpensive Ceylon offers little to get excited over, for better or worse. It is a fairly standard tea, with some light, woody tannins and a dash of caramel flavor. I noticed that it tasted best at a lukewarm temperature; it is pretty bland when hot. It is good with lemon and sugar, and would probably be fine o...

Ceylon Orange Pekoe from Twinings
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)64 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5

Dry, this tea smells vaguely of cocoa and molasses. It's understated, but pleasant. While brewing, the aroma is of light brown sugar, but not heavy. The cocoa from earlier is still there, but less pronounced than I expected based on the initial aroma and experience with other Sri Lankan teas. There's a faint note of ra...

Good! Not particularly memorable, but good! I like the aroma! But it's just not as good as half of their other, popular black tea's.

I really liked this tea -- when it was prepared just right and very fresh. It has a lovely, subtle aroma and flavor with delightful hints of muscatel, making it a stand out pure tea. However, it was easier to oversteep than others by this brand and the intensity of the first cups magic lessened a bit with second and th...

Island Heritage from teakruthi
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

The more I drink this tea, the more I enjoy it. Initially I felt it wasn't as distinctive as the other teas from this brand, but now I feel like it's simply a quite well-rounded tea. There's a subtle muscatel flavor that's nice. I feel like tea goes particularly well with food. Also, it resteeps very well.

A light and elegant tea that I'd drink for a quiet break. Oolong-like.
The beautiful and wiry dry leaf has the remarkable aroma of mint candy, creamy and suggesting of sweetness, not a smell I've ever encountered in a pure tea before.
Brews up a cup that is surprisingly subdued. Clean and light, but only a subt...

This is one of those transcendental black teas that somehow manages to be both warming and cooling in the same sip. Eminently satisfying!
All of Teakruthi's teas have been aromatic, but none explosively so until this one. I opened the bag and there was this burst of fragrance...first a sweet one that was hard to d...
Special Rare Ceylon Leaf Tea Kirkoswald from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5

The tea fell short for me. Aroma was great, but taste was flat. I steeped for 8 minutes to try and bring out full flavor, but no luck. I like a more full bodied tea, and one that I can feel pleasantly leeching into every nook and cranny. This tea didnt do that. Extremely light, and probably low in caffeine content as w...

Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

A classic British-style Ceylon tea. Medium-strength black tea with a fairly clean, cool taste. Moderate bitterness and astringency, little sourness. Maltier and deeper than some Ceylons.
Above average among Twinings offerings and better than what I typically expect from a tea bag. This is an example of a tea tha...
Dimbula BOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5

In contrast to Upton's broken-leaf teas from Darjeeling and other Himalayan regions, I am continuously disappointed by Upton's broken-leaf Ceylons, and this one continues the pattern.
Brewed as recommended, this tea is undrinkably strong. I recommend using less leaf and a much shorter steeping time. Even then, it'...
