Veganuary with Dilmah Tea
The start of a new year can only mean one thing, the start of Veganuary once more!
This month, we are proud to be celebrating what we’ve been offering for years; plant-based goodness that tastes delicious, not only in your cuppa but beyond too!
Over 30 years ago, our Founder had a unique vision to ethically produce the finest tea on Earth, just as nature intended. Meaning we were brewing 100% garden fresh and unblended tea before it was #cool.
So, what is Veganuary and why is it important?
Veganuary takes place every January, to encourage people to try vegan, drive corporate change and create a global mass movement championing compassionate food choices, to end animal farming, protect the planet and improve human health.
As promised, this month we will be providing plant-based goodness that goes beyond your morning brew. Presenting plants, herbs and culinary magic, check out this delicious plant-based ratatouille pinwheel dish created by chef Nihal from the Dilmah Empower Culinary & Hospitality School.
