40th Anniversary of the erection of the monument of Western Cuisine Birthplace in Japan

AJCA celebrated 40th Anniversary of the creationย of the monument of Western Cuisine Birthplace in Japan on 25th October 2017 on a large scale. Monument was built by AJCA in the Thomas Gloverโ€™s Residence Garden of Nagasaki-city in Kyushu Island in 1977. More than 100 chefs of AJCA member include President Toshi Utsunomiya, attended this ceremony.

History of western cuisine in Japan started in the middle of 16th century that Portuguese ship came to Tanegashima-island in Kyushu region. Culture of western cuisine grew at Nagasaki-city in Kyushu region, because Nagasaki was only the place opened for foreign country under the national isolation policy at Edo-period. First western cuisine restaurant โ€œJEUTEIโ€ was opened in 1864 by Chef Jyokichi Kusano in Nagasaki-city.

Mr. Thomas Glover was a Scottish trader and came to Japan in the middle of 18th century. After a big success in trading business, he built this luxurious residence in 1863 on the hill facing splendid view point of Nagasaki-city. His residence was registered as a historical world heritage site in July, 2015.

The High Tea Revolution begins with you

In 2007, Dilmah Founder Merrill J. Fernando felt that the High Tea occasion has lost its relevance at a time with tremendous culinary innovation as it was not crafted around tea. He felt that tea has been relegated to a bottom of a menu, overcrowded with the traditional high tea fare that lacked inspiration, originality, and most importantly, any connection to tea. As a passionate tea grower that worked tirelessly to share the joy of โ€˜real teaโ€™ with tea lovers around the world, he vowed to put the โ€˜teaโ€™ back in High Tea. Thus the Dilmah Real High Tea Revolution was born.

Dilmahโ€™s Real High Tea recognises the special relevance of culture, individuality, mood, gastronomy, mixology and heritage in crafting the perfect afternoon tea. There is no single definition of the perfect high tea but rather a multiplicity that is as varied and complex as tea itself, linked to the personality of the chef, the culture that you wish to share, the natural environment and therefore ingredients you wish to use, the nature of the occasion, whether a celebration or a moment of solace, an expression of art or of purity and a host of other factors all focused on tea. The one consistent characteristic of a Real High Tea is that all these dimensions are focused on tea in its beguiling and natural variety.

Partnering with chefs and hospitality professionals like yourself, weโ€™ve erased the boundaries of teaโ€ฆ

Special and rare – a miracle of nature

RUNGIS, PARIS, March 2017: ย Tea, in general, is a true gift from nature โ€“ a herb that has for centuries offered comfort while producing vigour, creativity and contentment in millions around the world. Yet, as is the nature of anything so complex and yet simple, tea has its own secrets it unveils through time, aided by Mother Nature and her erstwhile helpmates. Like the discovery of a rare blue diamond in the midst of a thousand others, like the unveiling of a map to a secret treasure trove, tea has its moments when it bestows on mankind โ€“ upon rare occasions when it pleases โ€“ a true miracle of nature. And this is none other than the Seasonal Flush tea.

This rare harvest of the bud and first leaf is Natures New Year gift, crafted by cool, dry weather over Christmas and handpicked for the dawn of 2017. A tea of extraordinary finesse, the neatly wiry leaf brews a bright, golden orange tea with a fragrance that is softly reminiscent of a garden awakening in spring. The coppery leaf reveals quality, and the exceptionally refined tea offers beautiful notes of mango, mild herbs and grapes, ending perfectly with a mild sweet citrus finish.

Craighead Estate is located in Nawalapitiya in the Kandy District and comprises of five divisions. Its highest elevation is 1150 metres above sea level and the tea factory is at 1143 metres. The Estate is bordered by the beautiful Gampola valley to the East, the stunning Dolosbage hills to the West, the Adams Peak to the South, and the Pidurutalagala mountain range to the North.

Only a limited quantity of this very special rare tea has been produced this year. It is a wonderful miracle of nature perfect for corporate gifting or simply showing a loved one how extra special they are.
