    Sri Lanka’s tea brand Dilmah has launched its luxury artisanal tea collection across 650 Coles supermarkets nationally.

    Dubbed ‘85 Reserve’ – the luxury tea range is sold in tin caddies each consisting of 20 large tea bags.

    It comes with six flavours and herbal infusions, namely Peppermint & Cinnamon, Ceylon Spice Chai, Lychee & Vanilla, Ear Grey & Vanilla, Ceylon Green Tea with Mint, and Royal Ceylon Breakfast – the last three will be available in Coles.

    Dilmah chairman Dilhan C. Fernando said Australians are “among the first in the world” to enjoy the range.

    “In the past six months, we have seen a nearly 60 per cent increase in luxury tea sales on the Dilmah Australia e-commerce website, and we are thrilled to offer the retail shopper this same luxury experience.”

    The full range can be bought online on the Dilmah Website.
