The first ever Dilmah Tea Mixology Playoff in the Maldives held at Kurumba Maldives was an extraordinary celebration of creativity and flavour, showcasing the art of tea-inspired mixology. 22 talented bartenders from resorts across the Maldives competed, crafting exceptional cocktails and mocktails using our finest teas. Presiding over the event were esteemed judges, Mixologist Jay Gray, and Dilmah Chairman/CEO, Tea Grower Dilhan C. Fernando.
The competition emphasised the versatility of the Dilmah Elixir of Ceylon Tea, a natural tea extract with built-in sweetness that allows for quick, innovative creations—from cocktails and mocktails to iced teas and smoothies.
Congratulations to the outstanding winners:
