A rare and exquisite loose leaf white tea from Satemwa in Malawi (East Africa).
From a region so well known for its extraordinary black tea, comes a remarkable and groundbreaking whole leaf white tea.
Rich, complex fruit notes and precise, elegant tannins. The wet leaf has an entrancing aroma of petrichor.
I’ve brewed a lot of white teas, but this one from Malawi is genuinely something else—the liquor is silky and subtly sweet, with none of the grassiness I usually get. The leaves are so delicate that even a gentle steeping brings out a honeyed finish that lingers.
The leaves are surprisingly whole and fluffy—unlike any white tea I've tried before. Steeped gently, it’s delicate but with a sweet, almost honeyed finish that lingers nicely. This Malawian gem has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.
The leaves are surprisingly large and intact—nothing like the broken bits in most white teas I've tried. It brews up a pale golden cup with a gentle, almost buttery smoothness that I haven't found in anything from Asia. Definitely a conversation starter for anyone who thinks they've had it all.
