I love pure green tea as a cool drink in summer. I put 5 tea bags into a 2 l jug of water and put it in the fridge. It ‘brews’ all by itself. If you like plain green tea and hate sugary imitation green tea ‘soft drinks’ you will love this. So thirst quenching and delicious and easy.

- Which Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why? My gave is the one with Jasmine, I just love jasmine and this blend is really nice.
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea? usually afternoons, for a relaxing tea break

My favourite was the plain one. Nice subtle taste.
I enjoy drinking it with my meals, makes me feel great!
loading...
I enjoyed the plain one the most with the jasmine coming in a close second place and found the mint to be a bit to strong for my taste.
I drink green tea most days in the morning with breakfast and sometimes in the afternoon if I’m feeling a bit ‘blah’. Also find it nice in winter before going to bed.

- Which Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why?
While I was pleasantly surprised that I really liked all of them, I think plain green tea followed by Jasmine were my favourites. I really like the traditional jasmine green tea and regular green tea flavours. More just a reflection of me being a bit conservative on flavour as a person
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea?
On my own in the morning, occassionally at work for a pick me up, and maybe for a coffe catch up with the girls, I don’t drink coffee so green tea is a great option when I can find it at cafes.

I loved the green tea with jasmine petals. The smell alone is gorgeous but the tea is uplifting. It reminds me of trekking in Thailand and gets my afternoon off to a good start. I’ve started a few of my friends drinking it now as well.
loading...
My favourite was the Green Tea with Jasmine – perfect balance of delicate fragrances and flavours. I would drink it any time of the day, as a gentle, refreshing tea, but particularly after dinner, when I find a flavoursome cuppa can chase away my chocolate cravings by giving me a delicious distraction
loading...
My favourite was the Moroccan Mint. Lots of flavour without an overpowering “herbal” taste- even when you got down to the dregs.
It was nice to change up the coffee routine at work, at least I knew I wouldn’t have coffee breath!
loading...
My favourite was the Moroccan Mint, the flavour was refreshing and subtle. It is a nice change to have a green tea instead of coffee at work. I definitely know I won’t have coffee breath!
loading...
My favourite is Jasmine green tea because of its subtle sweetness. More the better really.
I prefer green tea when I need a soothing warm beverage, particularly when I need something healthy because I am under the weather or have an upset tummy. It’s more nurturing and calming.
loading...
- Which Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why?
I really liked the Pure Green tea… not a big fan of the others because of the acrid aftertaste.
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea?
I think green tea is good on any occasion! Recently I’ve been having it for breakfast, during the day, and even just before bed on occasion. I also like it if I’m feeling a bit flat, or if I have a headache.
loading...
Which Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why?
I really loved the Jasmine Petals Tea It Was Delicious ( I made this into a cold drink by leaving it to infuse for 4 minutes the mixing in honey and leaving it in the fridge for a few hours it was amazing)
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea?
Lots of my girlfriends drink green tea and so I offer it alongside a coffee or regular tea when they come over. I now could also use it as a refreshing cold drink to mix up for parties etc.
loading...
Yes I have drunk green tea before but usually prefer a latte. The Green Tea was my favourite – I tend to drink tea slowly to experience it lovely and hot and also lukewarm. This tea out of all was most pleasant across the range of temperatures as a cup lasts me a while.
I would drink this throughout the working day in an office. Late at night, just before bed is also good as it helps me sleep. Would definitely buy this now I’ve tried it.
loading...
Loved, loved, loved the Moroccan Mint! The smooth green tea flavour coupled with just a hint of mint is the perfect herbal tea for the after dinner wind down. However, I would drink Dilmah green tea anywhere anytime. Its like a little cup of calm!
loading...
My favourite was the Green Tea with Lemongrass and Lemon. I loved the spicy taste which made me feel warm and happy. I drink it mid morning as a pick me up and again after dinner to help me relax into the evening.
loading...
I prefer the lemon & lemongrass – really tasty & I didn’t need to add anything to make it more palatable (like lemon juice) which I do with normal green tea.
I found it great to drink in the late afternoon when I am craving all the wrong foods before dinner – it satisfied that ‘snacky’ feeling.
loading...
- My favourite Dilmah green tea was definitely the Moroccan Mint but it was closely followed by the Jasmin Petals tea. The Moroccan Mint tea was so refreshing and helped settle my stomach after enjoying a little too much lunch!
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea?
- I would definitely drink Dilmah green tea after meals as the Moroccan Mint tea definitely helped digestion! The green teas are also a good fit for 3.30-itis because they are refreshing and tasty and a nice change from normal black tea!
loading...
The green tea with Jasmine petals was hands down my favourite. I have a sweet tooth so this variety appealed to me most. I had a tea each morning around 10am at my office desk and it made the morning emails a lot more enjoyable.
loading...
I normally drink a latte for a hot drink, occasionally green tea. The Lemongrass and Lemon Dilmah was pleasant, flavoursome but not too sharp. Would buy it.
Moroccan Mint – a soft minty taste that is flavoursome but not too overpowering. I normally don’t like mint so this was a pleasant surprise.
Jasmine – OK but not as appealing as Lemongrass and Lemon or Moroccan Mint. As it cooled it got a little too bitter for me. Would not purchase.
Natural Green Tea – pleasant tasting both in hot and warm state. Would purchase this product.
loading...
1. My favourite green tea variety was the Lemongrass and Lemon flavour. It felt smooth to drink and didn’t leave a nasty aftertaste. I felt refreshed after drinking it. I also felt for people who would like to drink green tea for the benefits, it was a nice flavour to ease into. It wan’t overpowering and I felt I could drink a few of this flavour in a day.
2. I would substitute green tea now for most of my hot drinks except 1 or 2 during the day now. I prefer to have a coffee in the morning and a cup of normal tea at night, but my 2/3 cups during the day will be green tea.
loading...
My favourite was the Jasmine too – seems to be a popular opinion! However my daughter’s favourite was the Moroccan Mint. She said it didn’t have that overly “fake” mint flavour you get with other teas.
I’m not much of a coffee drinker anymore so I just drink this stuff like there’s no tomorrow. It just makes you feel good.
loading...
The jasmine blend was lovely and my fave by far. It was light and refreshing and smelled divine. I enjoyed drinking these teas in the early afternoon when I needed a pick me up.
loading...
The Jasmine blend is my favourite by far! I love the scent, and the sweetness makes it ideal in the evenings as a before bed sweet treat. Much healthier than a hot chocolate and with that scent that I just cant get enough of.
Thanks Dilmah and Mamamia.

My fave was the Moroccan Mint. I don’t normally drink peppermint tea, but I found myself really enjoying this one. Beautiful as an iced tea in hot weather, when a milky flat white coffee just doesn’t feel right.
loading...
The pure green tea was the nicest it was very refreshing
loading...
Which green tea was your fave?
Mine was definitely the Morrocan Mint flavour. It was refreshing, but still warm and cosy like tea should be.
When do yo drink it?
I find the mint meant I was able to drink it all day at work without it getting too much. Pure green tea I find a bit sickly after a while, but the mint kept it refreshing. Working in an office, means I would probably have 2-3 cups a day of tea or coffee, but being pregnant has meant giving them up (obviously!). The mint was a lovely substitute and I will probably keep drinking it after the bub is born, although admittedly not as often (I do love my coffee!)
loading...
The green tea with lemongrass & lemon was my favourite. I really enjoy sitting down to relax with a tea at the end of a long day.
loading...
My favourite was the plain green tea because of its clear taste.
I enjoy drinking it when I need something to quench my thirst. I find it does this better than ordinary tea or coffee. I also like drinking it after dinner as it clears the palate.
loading...
I liked the plain green tea. I probably prefer to drink it in the mornings, both before breakfast and mid morning. The Moroccan mint was a nice change just to have something a little different and better than having something sweet!
loading...
The pure green tea was definitely my favourite because I like green tea and this is the one I found loveliest to drink. I also really enjoyed the flavour.
I would probably drink Dilmah green tea in the mornings after breakfast, after dinner and before bed as well as when I’m sick for a pick-me-up.
loading...
What Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why?
I loved the plain green tea to drink I thought the flavour was just right for a mid morning pick me up. Though my second favourite was the Jasmine mainly because I loved the smell as I drank it.
When or on What occasions would you drink Dilmah green tea?
I like to have a green tea mid morning it gives me a great pick me up and I found it helped clear out my brain for the rest of the day.
loading...
- Which Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why?
I think mine was a tie between the lemongrass & the jasmine. Both were so refreshing and light, but i think the jasmine is much easier and smoother to drink. I think for the arvos i would say lemongrass but for the evenings the jasmine
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea?
I am usually an earl grey drinker but just last week when on holidays i found myself ordering a jasmine green tea at breakfast (and lunch!!) – i think im hooked! Definately love to have a cuppa in the morning – and the green tea is very refreshing! At night watching tv too with a biccie or two is always nice too!

1. Which was favourite? Morrocan Mint for sure!

hope this helps,

green tea is a perfect wake-up call for the body’s digestive system in the morning. I prefer the simple green tea first thing and then the flavour mix through the day – moroccan mint is so good with anything spicy for instance.
The only time I wont drink green tea is at night – the caffeine is too much for me pre-bed.
loading...
My favourite was the Morrocan Mint.
I would drink it at home or at work anytime during the day. I had one last night just before dinner & it was a great way to relax at the end of a busy day.
Thanks again for including me.
loading...
The lemon flavoured tea was definitely my favourite. It tastes so fresh. I love it! I try to drink one tea in the morning with breakfast, and one in the evening just before going to bed.
I will definitely recommend Dilmah tea to all of my friends and family!
loading...
- Which Dilmah green tea variety was your favourite and why?
I really liked the Moroccan Mint, it was refreshing and didn’t have the bitterness that some green teas get after steeping for a while.
- When, or on what occasions, would you drink Dilmah green tea?
I generally drink green tea after lunch if it’s a weekday and any time on weekends. I also offer it to friends when they come and visit, but probably moreso in the cooler months of the year.

I would love to comment but my Tea never arrived.

1. Do you normally drink green tea and, if not, what is your preferred hot drink?
I normally dont drink tea. I drink coffee/
2. What are your first impressions of Dilmah green tea
It’s quite mild and actually found it settled my stomach. It isnt bitter like other teas I have tasted and has a nice aroma.
loading...
1. Do you normally drink green tea and, if not, what is your preferred hot drink?
I do drink green tea on the odd occasion. I used to drink it all the time and I over did it a little. So now I mix it up with peppermint, ginger, chamomile and various other herbal teas.
2. What are your first impressions of Dilmah green tea?
I enjoyed all of them. But particularly the Moroccan Mint – it was a nice twist on what a normally drink. None of the tea’s were that bitter which is usually the one thing that puts me off green tea.
I will definitely purchase them in the future – thank you

1. Do you normally drink green tea and, if not, what is your preferred hot drink?
I wouldn’t say I normally drink green tea – I am more of occassional drinker of it. I wish I liked it enough to replace my black tea wth green tea, but it’s hard to change. My hot drink of choice is normally an espresso in the morning & one-two organic black teas during the day.
2. What are your first impressions of Dilmah green tea
I like it. It didn’t have the bitterness of other green teas I have tried. I normally don’t like jasmine green tea for the bitterness reason & I enjoyed the Jasmine petals tea as it wasn’t too bitter or overly floral.
Thanks

Ok so here goes…..my opinion so far
1. Do you normally drink green tea and, if not, what is your preferred hot drink?
I’m more of a coffee drinker but since going on holiday to China last year, I’ve started drinking green tea on a semi-regular basis now. I bought loose leaf tea while in China so this is what I tend to drink.
2. What are your first impressions of Dilmah green tea?
I like the smell of the tea but unfortunately the taste was quite disappointing. I received the normal Green tea and the Green Tea with Lemongrass and Lemon and while they looked good and smelt amazing, there seemed to be a slight aftertaste to the tea. Not sure whether this was because it’s from the slight film which happens when using a tea bag or whether it’s just not as pure as the green tea I’m now used to drinking from China. I actually couldn’t finish drinking the teas.
loading...
I tried to Moroccan Mint today and it was also really refreshing. The difference with these teas seems to be that they don’t have that tartness or reside that you sometimes get with other green teas.
loading...
Yes, I agree Janie, there’s no tartness. I’ve found with some green teas that there is an unpleasant aftertaste/texture left in my mouth that I chalked up to bitterness and/or tartness in the case of flavoured green teas. So far I haven’t experienced that with the Dilmah range, even when I leave the teabag in.
