Dilmah Lychee Ceylon Black Tea – 20 Tea Bags (30g)

Dilmah Lychee Ceylon Black Tea brings together lively Ceylon black tea and the soft, aromatic sweetness of lychee. The tropical fruit character complements the tea rather than overwhelming it, creating a fragrant cup that is bright, smooth and easy to enjoy hot or over ice.

Why choose Dilmah Lychee Ceylon Black Tea?

This flavoured black tea offers a simple way to explore a distinctive Sri Lankan tea with an exotic fruit note. Dilmah describes its lychee tea as a marriage of succulent lychee character and high-grown Ceylon tea. The result is a balanced infusion with brisk black-tea depth, a gently sweet aroma and a clean tropical finish.

• Authentic Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka

• Suitable for hot tea and refreshing iced tea
• Medium caffeine level, as stated for this Dilmah tea range

Flavour and aroma

Dilmah Lychee Ceylon Black Tea opens with a floral, tropical aroma that recalls ripe lychee. Underneath, the Ceylon black tea contributes body and a pleasantly brisk structure. It is fruity without becoming syrupy and smooth enough to drink without milk. The combination works well for anyone who enjoys classic black tea but wants a more aromatic cup.

The lychee note is especially appealing in the afternoon, after a meal or when you want a flavourful alternative to a plain breakfast tea. Enjoy it unsweetened first so you can appreciate the natural contrast between the bright tea and the softly sweet fruit aroma.

How to brew a fragrant cup

1. Place one tea bag in a cup or mug.
2. Add about 200ml of freshly boiled water cooled slightly to approximately 90–95°C.
3. Steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
4. Remove the tea bag and enjoy it plain. Add a little sugar or honey only if desired.

For the clearest flavour, use fresh filtered or spring water and avoid over-steeping. A three-minute infusion highlights the aromatic lychee character, while five minutes gives Dilmah Lychee Ceylon Black Tea a stronger black-tea body.

Serve it as iced lychee tea

Brew two tea bags in about 250ml of hot water for 3–5 minutes. Remove the bags, allow the tea to cool and pour over plenty of ice. Add a slice of lime, a few mint leaves or pieces of fresh lychee for a colourful serving suggestion. If you prefer sweetness, dissolve a small amount of sugar while the tea is still warm.

Iced Dilmah Lychee Ceylon Black Tea is a refreshing choice for warm days, brunches and casual entertaining. Its tropical aroma remains noticeable even after chilling, while the Ceylon tea provides enough character to stand up to ice.

Food pairing ideas

The fruit-forward profile pairs naturally with light cakes, shortbread, coconut biscuits, fresh fruit and mildly spiced savoury snacks. It can also accompany Asian desserts, vanilla pastries or a simple afternoon tea selection. Avoid very heavy milk-based accompaniments if you want the delicate lychee aroma to remain prominent.
