The cuppa tea that went for the gold

The Most Outstanding Dilmah Tea-Inspired Beverage

Trevin Andrew Gomaz and S.P.M. Hanifa of Cinnamon Grand, Colombo left the judges awe-inspired with their remarkable Dilmah Tea-Inspired Beverage at the recently held Dilmah Real High Tea Challenge. Their melt-in-the-mouth foie gras pate, dark chocolate cigar, and frozen crumble proved to be an exquisite complement to their “Mythical Forest” creation, ingeniously crafted using Dilmah Forest Berry Tea, with the Elixir of Ceylon Tea’s Peach and Mango flavours. Their exemplary teamwork, innovation, and creativity was truly commendable, earning them the well-deserved accolade for “The Best Tea-Inspired Beverage”.

About the competition

Sizzling pans, clashing pots, and elated culinary spirits starred at the Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka 2023!

“Bocuse d’Or,” named after iconic culinary legend, Chef Paul Bocuse, has been offering young chefs from around the world the opportunity to demonstrate their culinary flair and elevate their careers since 1987. As a genuine tribute to our Founder Merrill J. Fernando’s heartfelt desire to empower youth, Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka and Dilmah have collaborated since the inception of this prestigious global challenge in Sri Lanka back in 2011 to strengthen Sri Lankans with culinary ambition.

The allure of this year’s local challenge lay in the incorporation of fresh seaweed as a compulsory ingredient in their fish dish, adding a captivating twist to their culinary narrative. After weeks of intensive trials, weaving the essence of Dilmah Ceylon tea and seaweed into their dishes, the results were nothing short of spectacular. These exceptionally talented individuals now stand as culinary ambassadors, entrusted with carrying the unique flavours of our resplendent isle to the forthcoming Bocuse d’Or Asia Pacific Regionals.

Amidst fierce competition, Chef A. Gayan Basnayake and Commis Sithum Anjana from The Movenpick Hotel, Colombo, emerged as the triumphant Gold winners of Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka, who will be team Sri Lanka for the Bocuse d’Or Asia Regionals. Chef Najantha Anushka and Commis Thineth Oshada from Cinnamon Lakeside, Colombo, and Chef Charith Madhawa and Commis Ometh Fernando from Cinnamon Grand, Colombo, clinched the silver and bronze medals, respectively.

With appreciation for the most tea-inspired duo, a special award was presented for the “Best Tea-Inspired Dish” and was awarded to Chef C Kandambi and Commis S Pathirana of Waters Edge, Colombo, by Tea Grower & Dilmah CEO, Dilhan C. Fernando.

Congratulations to the well-deserved culinary maestros and we wish them a potful of luck for their gastronomic journey.
