There are so many simple efforts we can do in our daily lives and little changes in our lifestyles to help the environment. The simplest effort you can add is by doing some research and then making conscious choices…

Now, your high tea meal won’t be high ‘tea’ without… tea, of course! Besides being one of the world’s leading tea brands, Dilmah Tea also takes sustainability very seriously, choosing to produce their tea via carbon-neutral ways.
Each of these teas go well with the high tea menu prepared:
Cold Bites: Dilmah t-Series Green Tea with Jasmine Flower

This mild and delicate tea with pale yellow infusion and soothing aroma is best suited with mild or subtly flavoured food like salads and poultry. When you’re chowing on the cold bites, this tea will complement the flavours without overpowering your palate.
Hot & Savoury: Dilmah t-Series Darjeeling Tea

Defined yet soft, the robust flavour, aroma and tannins are most ideal to pair with full-flavoured food such as meat and spicy dishes.
So, when you’re indulging in the otak-otak or satay, the Darjeeling tea will bring out the flavours of the food even more.

Even without sugar, you can taste how naturally sweet this tea is. The similar sweet flavour characteristics of the desserts and tea enhancing one another is definitely the best pairing one cannot miss.
