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”.
