Spice Notes

Tucked inside the second floor of the Clayton Members Club, longtime Lead Server Mahinda Thabrew has quietly become one of the property’s defining presences. Since joining the team in 2021, his reputation for thoughtful service has made him a favorite among members — but this season, it’s something from his own heritage that’s drawing attention.

Thabrew is the founder of Andezx Premium Ceylon Cinnamon, a line of hand-crafted cinnamon sticks sourced directly from the lush hills of Sri Lanka. Unlike the more common cassia variety, Ceylon cinnamon is known for its subtle sweetness and layered aroma — a refined spice that elevates everything from coffee and cocktails to desserts and curries.

Each batch is meticulously harvested and rolled by hand, bringing a taste of Sri Lanka’s culinary tradition to Cherry Creek. For Thabrew, it’s a personal passion project that bridges continents — and a reminder that even amid the polish of a private club, there’s room for genuine craft, connection, and a story worth savoring.
