Mee So Sydney at ibis Styles Sydney Central and Dilmah invite you to The Art of Tea, Gin & Cuisine. This exclusive dining event is made for food lovers, cocktail fans and tea lovers. It is also a chance to see tea in a fresh and unexpected way.

A Tea and Gin Event Sydney Food Lovers Will Enjoy

This is more than a tasting. It is a guided dining experience with stories, flavour notes and expert insight.

During the event, our food and tea experts will guide guests through each pairing. You will learn how tea can be brewed, mixed and layered into cocktails. You will also discover how each dish has been matched with its drink.

As a result, every course offers something different. Some pairings are bold and bright. Others are soft, aromatic and smooth. However, each one is designed to show tea in a new way.

Your ticket includes:

  • 7 tea infused gin cocktail pairings
  • 7 course Korean and Japanese inspired degustation
  • Hosted tasting experience
  • Lucky door prizes
  • Take home goodie bag

Plus, guests will enjoy a rare tasting of Dilmah’s 40th Anniversary tea. This is from the final batch release, making it a very limited tasting. Therefore, it is a special part of the afternoon.
