Tea is a important part of our mornings, it starts our day and I personally love my tea to be strong. I have tea only once in a day that is only in mornings and it have to perfect and I'm very particularly choosy about it. I was delighted when I got invitation for tea tasting and pairing it with different food at
T-Lounge by Dilmah. It is a most recognized international tea brand and sixth largest tea brand in the world. They have newly opened their first outlet in Dubai.
Lounge is very pretty and cozy seating arrangements. Wall's depict the story of Dilmah and different types of tea embedded in the wall which makes it colorful and beautiful.
I got to try four different type of tea's, each tea had different aroma and flavor. You will get the exact flavor of tea when you pair it rightly with food.
Our first tea was
Brilliant Breakfast Tea which is red in color, strong in taste. It was paired with
Italian Classic Bruschettas, which is topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and little balsamic vinegar. I loved the combination and also tea because it was strong.

Our second tea was
Moroccan Mint Green Tea which was minty and mild in taste. It was paired with
Lamb Kofta Burger, the lamb grilled patty was good in size and also had other variant like hummus, lettuce. I'm neither a fan of mint tea or lamb burger it didn't make any impact on me. If you love mint and mild flavor then this tea is for you.

Our third tea is
#MyFavorite Single Estate Darjeeling Tea it had a strong aroma and very strong taste, which perfectly suits my taste. It was paired with
Classic Italian Ravioli, which had ricotta, Parmesan cheese and mixed with fresh Tomato sauce. The sweet sour taste of ravioli and strong tea made a good combination together.

Our last tea was
Single Estate Oolong Leaf Tea which had mild flavor. It was paired with
Pistachio and Ricotta pastry, which was soft and had layers. I loved the combo of both tea and pastry.

We also got to try out special tea which is
Seasonal Flush, it is special because it is cultivated at particular climate for 12 days and then only you can get that combination. Depending on the cultivation the amount of tea keeps changing every year. We were served this tea in a wine glass. It had a mild aroma of rose and it slowly got stronger sip by sip.
