With coffee “pod” packaging becoming every more popular, tea maker Dilmah is fighting back with its own answer to the packaging format – a "tea cap" that is compatible with most Nespresso machines.

The Dilmah tea cap will be available in two types of tea that are handpicked from specific regions in Sri Lanka: English Breakfast, which is grown in the Dimbula Valley, and Earl Grey, which is grown in the Ratnapura region.

According to Dilmah, its tea cap produces consistently high quality cups of tea with no waste, no mess and in no time. Just like the coffee cap, it’s as simple as inserting the capsule.

The Dilmah tea caps are available in selected supermarkets.
