Satemwa Estate Thyolo Malawi Wulong Tea

Satemwa Estate Thyolo is a wulong tea that is grown and produced in the Thyolo District in the southern Shire Highlands. Established in 1923 at an elevation about 3,300 feet to grow both tea and coffee in the temperate climate, it is one of the few remaining family-owned tea gardens in the area, as most gardens have been sold to larger companies looking to produce commodity tea. This garden produces artisanal teas derived from experiments with the local cultivars of the tea plant that have been developed here over the decades - Bvumbwe, Thyolo and Zomba.

The leaves and some buds from the Thyolo cultivar have been oxidized about 50%, yielding a smooth, medium-bodied infusion with sweet, savory, fruity, grassy and woody notes.

• Tea is priced and sold by the ounce. 
• Minimum purchase of 2 ounces.
