Malawi tea collection
Satemwa is a third-generation family-run tea farm in the Shire Highlands in Thyolo, Southern Malawi, Africa. It was founded by Scotsman Maclean Kay in 1923. Maclean's grandson Alexander now runs Satemwa. Satemwa produces small-volume, specialty teas, all of which are harvested by hand. Their plants are maintained without pesticides in tea fields that sit at an altitude of 950 – 1200m above sea level. The team takes an experimental and open-minded approach to tea making which sees them producing unique whole leaf teas that reflect the Malawi terroir.
