Description
This tea comes from the Satemwa Tea Estate plantation in Malawi located in the Shire Highlands, where several small-scale producers work together. This tea is inspired by the production of Chinese teas, with an oolong drawing on a unique soil and cultivar.
An unconventional Malawian tea, with complex and powerful fruity, woody and camphor fragrances. A unique experience.
