Dilmah Premium Ceylon Golden Pekoe is an elegantly curled, large leaf Pekoe from Sri Lanka's Sabaragamuwa region, gentle in nature yet complex in character. The larger leaf infuses more slowly than common broken grades, giving a nuanced cup with natural clarity.
Expect a bright golden amber liquor with a clean, gentle aroma, a medium body, a naturally sweet and slightly earthy character and a smooth, brisk finish. It is lovely in the morning with a biscuit or a slice of cake.
