What’s
really in your teacup? If you are
someone who wants to know that what you consume not only tastes good but is
also produced by an ethical company that cares, then look no further!

At a
recent tea tasting seminar hosted by Le Meridien and Dilmah Tea, guests gained
a greater appreciation for the different varieties, qualities and processing
methods of tea that influence freshness, flavor and fair trade!

From
farming and processing, to packaging and shipping, these 100% Ceylon Teas are
handled with the utmost care to ensure the finest taste in every cup. Perhaps more impressive though is that the
workers, the community and the land are also cared for with respect and
love. At Dilmah the workers are
provided with free accommodation, including all utilities, schools and medical
care. For workers of children who do
well and wish to carry on with their education, grants are often provided.

| The wide variety of Dilmah Teas are not just for drinking but serve as part of the bright and colorful decor.
Dilmah
offers an extensive variety of tea including black, green and white teas. Each tea has it’s own unique aroma and taste and can be served hot or cold, on it’s own, or enhanced with milk, sugar, honey, or even fruit syrups! |
 |
| Brewed to perfection every time! Water at 98 C, steeping timed to the exact minute and served in a double wall glass. |

Expert
mixologists demonstrated how to make fusion tea drinks beverages with fruit syrup and fresh tea that make a refreshing drink on a hot day. Each mocktail had a distinct fruity sweetness with a perfect tea finish. You could easily add a shot of rum or vodka and serve them up at a cocktail party too!

We
also learned that just as food and wine should be paired correctly for optimum
taste, so should tea. Lighter teas such as Pure Green or Jasmine Green tea are
served best with fish, sushi or salads. The strong flavor of a black tea like
Lapsong Suchong or Earl Grey would nicely accompany curries or meatier dishes
while Morrocan Mint or Italian Almond are the perfect compliment to chocolate
desserts.

Gosh, the amount of chocolate!
I'm a big fan of tea; would drink a lot the whole day. =)
There is nothing a good cup of tea can't do. I must have my cup of tea at work and some days, Dilmah is my choice.
It looks like an excellent chocolate buffet.
