Dilmah, in their marketing, make a lot of noise about the freshness of their teas due to packaging within days of picking, and with their standard "Premium" offering it really does have a freshness distinct from most of the other big producers. The Premium in truth is an Orange Pekoe and exhibits that wonder deep orange colour. The taste is fairly full bodied, more so than most Orange Pekoes and also demonstrates the blend's refreshing notes. This has been my standard "supermarket tea" for many years now, and perfect for a good, no-nonsense, traditional brew.
