Well you know how much I love High Tea or Afternoon Tea don't you? And I know my lovely readers like it about as much as I do.  Well in August this year Dilmah tea will also host a series of Charitea events at the Hilton Hotels around Australia to raise money for the MJF Foundation is a humanitarian assistance programmes which helps in the education of children in Sri Lanka which is of course where some of the best tea is grown.

Also for those of you with cooking fantasies and baking skills Dilmah is concurrently running a High Tea Challenge (open to chefs and consumers) in August – where they have to develop a high tea menu and match it with Dilmah tea, the short listed entries will have to present their menu at Hilton Hotels (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide) to Dilhan Fernando (son of Dilmah Founder Merrill J Fernando), Peter Kuruvita and Bernard Uber.
