GREEN TEA: Zomba Green, Malawi

Zomba Green
Green tea, Malawi

Flavour: citrus, fresh cut grass, green veges, smoke
A rare, high-grade Malawi green from Satemwa. These carefully crafted leaves infuse into a light-bodied tea with a lovely lemon and biscuity fragrance, a soft and creamy mouthfeel with notes of citrus, fresh-cut grass, green vegetables and a light, lingering hint of smoke in the tail. This February 2023 tea is harvested by hand then steamed, rolled and dried.

The grade of tea is TSFOP (tippy special finest flowery orange pekoe).

Founded in 1923, Satemwa is a small, family-run tea estate in Malawi, Africa. Satemwa is certified by Fair Trade & Rainforest Alliance and has a strong focus on sustainability and ethical tea production.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 80°. Three infusions. 

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
