Dilmah Tea: Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka 2025

Congratulations to Cinnamon Life who emerged the winner of Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka 2025! Dubbed the “Olympics of Gastronomy”, Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka is more than just a competition; it is a powerful catalyst for national development, propelling local cuisine and ingredients as well as Sri Lankan talent onto the international stage. Chef Rohan Fernandopulle, President of Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka, said: “This is the world's largest and most reputable live cooking competition. You have to be the best of the best to get into this competition when you go to the next level.” Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Dr. Harini Amarasuriya said in her keynote address: “This is not just about food. This is about excellence. This is about legacy. This is about identity. And for Sri Lanka, our participation in this global odyssey is about far more than culinary vanity. It is about placing ourselves at the very heart of an international dialogue about creativity, craft and cultural expression.” With Dilmah Tea championing the competition since its inception in Sri Lanka, Dilhan C. Fernando, Tea Grower & Chairman / CEO of Dilmah Tea, emphasised that Bocuse d’Or Sri Lanka is not merely a celebration of excellence, but crucially it is about nurturing the next generation of top-tier culinary professionals and showcasing Sri Lanka’s unique flavours and produce to the world. #SriLankaPride #OlympicsOfGastronomy #CulinaryChampions #NextGenChefs #CulinaryLegends #MasterChefSriLanka #TeaInspired #DilmahFamily #FamilyFirst #MerrillJFernando #TeaWithLove #ServingHumanity #CupOfKindness #EthicalBusiness #Integrity #Tea #EthicalTea #PremiumTea #BetterTea #GreatTaste #NaturalGoodness #EthicalPurpose #MakingTheWorldABetterTea #DoTryIt #40YearsOfDilmah
