A HANDBOOK ON TEA MIXOLOGY
THE WORD FROM THE TEAMAKER Having devoted my life to tea in its purest form, I joined my sons in taking the noble herb beyond the cup. The culinary initiatives that together form Dilmah Tea Gastronomy saw tea evolving as a healthy, diverse and delicious ingredient in fine food.
Dilmah Tea Mixology is a new dimension in tea, with tea cocktails, mocktails, shooters and pairings that honour the heritage and identity of tea in harmonious combination with other ingredients. Fine Single Origin Tea, handpicked, packed garden fresh, unblended at source is a gift from Nature, whether savoured pure, paired with food or drinks, or as an ingredient in either.
Tea Mixology is a very natural extension of our endeavor at going beyond the cup. In mydesire to share the pleasure in fine tea, I respect the fact that the tea you enjoy most is the tea that is right for you. Tea brewed well and enjoyed pure is of course my preference but whether yours is tea with vodka or tea paired with a fine cognac, my aim is to ensure that the combination respects the tea.
Do try it!
Merrill J. Fernando Founder of Dilmah Tea
The very special feature of tea is that the herb is infinite in its variety, fashioned by Nature into light, bright, brisk, bold, earthy, malty, intense and a spectrum of other flavours, hues and fragrances. There is a tea therefore that mixes elegantly with light spirit, tea that equals a dark rum, and tea that pairs in a subtle way with any food or beverage.
