Why Thurson’s Dimbula is Lushantha’s daily brew

High in the cool, lavishly green hills of Sri Lanka lies Dimbula, one of Ceylon’s much-loved tea-growing regions. With misty mornings, gentle rain and plenty of sunshine, tea grows at its own pace, surrounded by nature.

For Thurson Teas founder Lushantha de Silva, Dimbula has always been a favourite. Of all the teas he has enjoyed over the years, it is the cup he finds himself coming back to time and time again.

There is something comforting about a cup of Dimbula in the morning. Its bright amber colour, fresh character and gentle depth make it easy to enjoy, whether you take it plain or with a dash of milk.

For Lushantha, Dimbula is woven into some of his fondest childhood memories, school holidays spent visiting his father’s estate, and family gatherings where a pot of tea was always close at hand as stories about his grandfather were shared around the table.

Whenever I want a moment to slow down and simply enjoy a good cup of tea, I reach for Dimbula. It reminds me of the beauty of our tea gardens and of what makes Ceylon tea so special

Dimbula Delight is a simple celebration of that connection to the hills, to the people behind the tea, and to the pleasure of a good cup.
