TEA INSPIRED EXPERIENCE

A handcrafted journey from our tea gardens to your cup

Merrill J. Fernando, an artisan teamaker who is driven by his passion for tea and a desire to share the luxury and natural goodness in Ceylon tea, is the same teamaker behind the world’s best tea. Decades of an extraordinary love for tea gave Dilmah the unquenchable spirit it has today.

More than anything, at Dilmah we believe in being kind.

Respecting our customers - we do not blend our teas. We uphold the highest standards and do not compromise quality to make a profit.

We make the best tea in the world and use our profits to support those need that little bit of kindness the most.

EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE Dilmah’s Seasonal Flush teas are quite simply the most exclusive of all teas, and a true tea connoisseur’s dream. Sri Lanka is blessed with two distinct weather systems affecting the tea country at different times. The resulting Dimbula and Uva Seasonal Teas, though rare, are said to be chief amongst the reasons why Ceylon Tea was always considered to be the finest in the world.

INNOVATIONS Tea Inspiration for the 21st Century is the evolution of the revolution in tea that Dilmah sparked through its pioneering Real High Tea Challenge; that contest involved 710 contestants in 14 countries and challenged dated concepts of afternoon tea. TI21 continues that spirit in taking the message of great Taste, natural Goodness and ethical Purpose in fine tea, to a new generation with 21st Century style with tea inspired gastronomy and mixology.

TEA INSPIRED Tea Mixology is about tea in drinks, tea gastronomy is about tea in food, and tea inspired is about anything… but it must have an element of tea in it. It is where tea infused masterpieces are brought to life. Our exploration of ‘tea gastronomy’ began in 1999 with roast chicken marinated in Ceylon Tea. Over the years, it became apparent that the sensorial and functional justification for the combination of tea and food was more than just a coincidence. There is a tea for every moment, for every mood, and for every occasion. There is a tea for every fruit, vegetable and meat, a tea for every culinary style and a tea whose unique personality matches every person’s individual taste.

As part of a dish, as an element in mixology or an ingredient as a part of savoury and sweet morsels and spirits, there can be no doubt of it. In the sensations that tea offers- its taste, mouthfeel, and in its natural goodness, there is a delicious harmony in the union of sea and food. Our School of Tea sessions also include in-depth training in this aspect.

Tea in Five Senses

teainfivesenses.teagastronomy.com

Camellia Epicurean

FINE TEA IS A PLEASURE TO BE EXPERIENCED IN LITERALLY EVERY SENSE; SIGHT, SOUND, SMELL, TASTE AND TOUCH. At the recently held Camellia Epicurean dinner to celebrate the World’s Most Experience Teamaker, Merrill J. Fernando, ‘Tea in the Five Senses’, yet another concept by Dilmah was explored by all guests. From tea inspired gastronomy that respected tea for its flavour, aroma and goodness, the event flowed into a rhythmic tribute by Maestro Ravibandhu Vidyapathy, followed by unique drumming compositions paired with the spirit of each brew. Here the drums being created with natural material similar to a cup of tea is an expression of nature, which when combined enables the tea drinker to enter a new dimension of taste and sound.

This is the idea being Tea in Five senses: the fact that we discover tea at its most sublime when tea is experienced in our fifth sense. Music inspired by the character, the mood and the complexity of tea rounds up an already near-perfect moment making it complete.
