LCurator note · Dilmah
Most ginger teas are caffeine-free herbal infusions; this is the opposite, a proper black tea with ginger and honey laid over it. The blend runs ninety-four percent real Ceylon black, so there is a sturdy, earthy backbone here that the all-herbal Dragonfly Lemon and Ginger does not have. The ginger is sharp and properly warming, not the timid kind, and the natural honey rounds it off so the spice lands mellow instead of raw. I will leave the marketing claims to others; what you actually get is a strong, comforting cup that does a job as a morning tea with a kick or a warming drink on a cold day. It takes a lemon slice well and makes a decent iced tonic in summer. Pick this over the Dragonfly herbal if you want caffeine and tea body with your ginger; pick the herbal if you want it for the evening. A reliable, characterful everyday black.

About this tea
Dilmah Ginger and Honey, in brief.
Caffeine: the Ceylon leaf brings caffeine, though we give no milligram count.
The brew is two layered: bright lifted ginger on top, soft honey underneath. Aroma fills the cup immediately as the ginger root releases its warming compounds during the steep. The honey reads as natural rather than syrupy, which is the test of a properly flavoured herbal versus a sweetener overlaid drink. No cloying after feel.
Caffeine: the Ceylon leaf brings caffeine, though we give no milligram count.
Best brewed at boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. The ginger needs the full steep time to release the warming compounds. Drink straight to taste the natural honey ginger balance, or add a teaspoon of actual honey to lean further into the sweetness. Excellent cold brewed overnight in summer for a smoother, lighter version.
Caffeine: the Ceylon leaf brings caffeine, though we give no milligram count.

Curator’s notes
Read the full write-up
Dilmah Ginger and Honey Tea is a black tea with ginger and honey for anyone who finds the usual supermarket bags a bit dull. Cheaper flavoured blends tend to taste thin or artificial; this one is ninety four percent real black tea, so the spicy ginger and natural honey flavour sit on a cup with proper traditional weight.
Hyson tea bag fans after something warmer will recognise the same friendly quality in these Dilmah bags, only bolder, and just as at home in a staff kitchen as in your own.
For the warmest result, this ginger honey black tea pairs nicely with a traditional lemon slice or as a refreshing smooth cold brew tonic. Good for a quiet hour at home or a hectic day at work, the ginger brings a lively warmth to the cup, and the quality is the same Dilmah standard carried on into 2026.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Water temperature100°C, because the ginger only gives up its warming compounds at full heat.
MeasureOne bag per 200ml, poured just off the boil; 2 bags if you want the ginger punchier.
Steep4 to 5 minutes; the longer end pulls more shogaols, the source of the deeper, lingering warmth.
ServiceA fresh lemon slice and a teaspoonful of clear honey, stirred in, finish it nicely. Ginger, lemon and honey is an old, familiar combination, and the three flavours sit well together.
Cold buster versionAdd cayenne, just a small pinch, to the cup; the capsaicin in it piles extra warmth onto the ginger.
CaffeineThe Ceylon leaf brings caffeine, though we give no milligram count.
Best withGingerbread, naturally, plus lemon biscuits, spiced fruit cake or, less obviously, sushi.
Safety and purity
What’s in it, what to know
CaffeineThe Ceylon leaf brings caffeine, though we give no milligram count.
Ingredients and dietary suitabilityDilmah could reformulate the ginger and honey blend, so check the latest carton's allergen advice before buying.
CaffeineThe Ceylon leaf brings caffeine, though we give no milligram count.
Nutrient NoteThe ginger brings gingerols and shogaols, the compounds behind its warming heat and the way it lingers in the throat.
Shelf LifeGinger aroma is what fades after the pack's best before date; the tea itself stays safe to drink. Seal the bags in something airtight and give them a cool, dry, shaded spot.
Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
