Description

How it tastes:
Medium-bodied with delicate notes of sweet citrus, fresh vegetables, and a buttery finish

This one-of-a-kind white tea from one of Malawi’s most renowned tea gardens. Satemwa is a progressive third-generation, family-owned farming estate in the Shire Highlands that specializes in processing teas… by hand! Each leaf is hand-plucked and rolled by an amazing team of 15 local tea-crafting women—a true labour of love. Satemwa places much emphasis on sustainability and maintaining the wellbeing of those who work there.

What makes it great:
• It’s hand-plucked and rolled by a team of 15 local tea-crafting women.
• The tea comes from a third-generation family-owned garden that only grows Fair Trade teas. This helps support the livelihood of its tea producers and their families.
• It’s unusual to have a white tea like this hand-rolled like an oolong—try it “gung fu” style!

Ingredients: Hand rolled, lightly oxidized white tea from Malawi, Africa.
