Judges Comments Understand the Morning, Afternoon and Evening occasions and interpret each in terms of the guest experience you wish to present - the table and menu layout, crockery, intensity of flavours, storyline - and define a theme, choose your tea accompanying food accordingly. The food that a guest would prefer in the evening is likely to be significantly different to what he or she would have in the morning for example, and accordingly teas, visual elements may change in line with your personal creative expression Understand the teas in terms of their individual aroma, taste, provenance, and the perfect brewing method for each. On this basis you can define which teas would fit best with your own interpretation of the 3 occasions, and select which would be best served hot, or in other ways - iced, as a cocktail etc. Respect for tea is important and therefore the use of other ingredients in producing tea inspired drinks and food is critically important. Those ingredients need to work harmoniously with teas, and neither overpower nor obscure the teas. Where tea inspired food or drinks are concerned the presence of the tea needs to be evident Define your presentation in a credible and personal way, to engage the guest and express your understanding of each occasion, of the teas, the pairings and tea inspired elements as well as your rationale for each. These could be woven into a storyline that would add authenticity and emotional engagement, to complete the experience of your morning, afternoon and evening tea presentations Live Updates Always Tea Time Challenge - Curated tweets by Dilmah Always Tea Time Challenge - Curated tweets by Dilmah Tea Inspired - Curated tweets by...
