Read on to learn more about this unique opportunity and how you can participate.
The Tea-rrific Offer
International Tea Day is coming up on May 21, and Emirates Airways wants to celebrate it in a special way. The airline has partnered with Dilmah Tea, a Sri Lankan tea company, to offer a tea-rrific opportunity to win an exclusive trip to the Tea Maker’s Private Retreat in Sri Lanka.
Bidding starts at 200,000 miles, and the winner will have the opportunity to experience tea in a way that they have never before. The package includes two round-trip Business Class tickets on Emirates from Dubai to Colombo, a three-night stay at the Hilton Colombo for two guests, and a three-night visit to tea plantations at Ceylon Tea Trails, a Relais & Châteaux property in the Ceylon tea region.
The Experience
The winner will get to experience a variety of tea-related activities during their stay, including a master class with Dilhan C. Fernando, the son of the founder and CEO of Dilmah, on how to taste the tea and brew the perfect cup. They will also get to enjoy a special food pairing with tea-inspired gastronomy with the Dilmah family and a seven-course tea-inspired dinner called “Camellia Epicurean,” where tea is used as an ingredient for all the dishes.
The trip also includes transportation to and from the airport, meals at the all-day dining restaurant at Hilton Colombo, and all meals and beverages at the Ceylon Tea Trails. However, it’s important to note that the winner will have to pay for their own travel to Dubai to complete their trip to Sri Lanka.
