Discover the Art of tea with world tea master

Different cup of world class tea at The Westcliff hotel in Johannesburg and the Mount Nelson hotel in Cape Town

Raise your pinky to an all-new luxury when world-renowned Sri Lankan tea master and founder of Dilmah Tea, Merrill J. Fernando, descends on South Africa for an exclusive tasting of a diverse range of Single Origin Ceylon tea in September at luxury hotels in South Africa.

This unique tea experience, presented in the style of a wine tasting, will saturate the senses at the luxury Westcliff hotel in Johannesburg on Thursday, 7 September and stirs up royal decadence at Cape Town's five star luxury Mount Nelson Hotel on Friday, 15 September.

Similar to wine, tea takes on different characteristics, taste, aroma and colour depending on its origin and Mr. Fernando will lure guests on a sip-sational journey, enticing palates to different styles of truly fine, unblended Dilmah Ceylon tea, grown on different elevations on the lush island of Sri Lanka - formerly known as Ceylon.

Don't miss out on this authentic, comparative tea tasting at one of the luxury hotels, and spruce up your taste for this cultivated art with a rich history. Each tasting will be followed by an elegant Afternoon Tea infused with cups of Dilmah comfort and traditional sweet and savoury gourmet treats.

Today, Dilmah is the No 1 Ceylon Tea brand, driven by the passion of the Fernando family to produce the finest quality tea on earth.

Mr. Fernando's visit to the country coincides with the launch of the Dilmah Ultra Premium 100% pure Ceylon tea range in South Africa.
