Making tea for a mocktail is nice. Especially if you create a ritual around it. But sometimes you don't have the time or you are just not in the mood for it. For those moments we have created Elixirs. The Elixirs from Dilmah are made from pure fresh harvest tea leaves. The tea that we use in our Elixirs grows on the Rilhena family Tea Garden in Ratnapura located in the south of Sri Lanka.

This tea concentrate is made from 100% pure Ceylon single estate tea. Directly after the tea is being harvested we make our Elixirs. All the good elements like the quality and taste stay intact. And that is something you can taste. The Elixirs are perfect to create mocktails, smoothies, and iced tea. Within the wink of an eye, you can serve a delicious drink. The options with the Elixirs are endless.
