OOLONG TEA: Thyolo Misty Oolong, Malawi, Africa
Thyolo Misty Oolong
Oolong tea, Malawi, Africa
Flavour: hints of papaya, apple, summer grass
After being harvested by hand, these leaves are withered in the sun while being gently turned and bruised to initiate oxidation, then rolled and dried. Thyolo Misty Oolong infuses into clean and bright tea with body notes of orange, papaya and red peppercorn followed by a floral finish.
This June 2021 harvest oolong is a rare tea from Satemwa, a small family-run tea estate nestled in the Shire Highlands in Thyolo, southern Malawi, Africa. Founded in 1923, Satemwa is certified by Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance and has a strong focus on sustainability and ethical tea production.
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.
