This year the Satemwa Tea & Coffee Estate turns 100! To celebrate this huge milestone Henrietta and special guests from Satemwa will take you on an adventure through their tea, telling stories of the farm, its history and tasting some incredible teas as we go.
Located in the Shire Highlands of Malawi, Satemwa is one of the last independent farms in the region - family-run rather than a vast multinational corporation. As guardians of the land, the family has gone beyond organic with regenerative agriculture and forestry, putting an emphasis on skilled people rather than mechanisation. This provides more and better jobs as well as producing far better quality tea. The team at Satemwa have pioneered incredible innovation in hand-crafted leaf to shape some of the best teas in Africa, if not the world.
We’ll be tasting Lost Malawi, a rich, single estate English Breakfast tea; Malawi Green, a rare African green tea steamed in a Japanese style; Black Iced Tea, specifically designed for cold infusion, and lastly the wonderfully unique Malawi Leafy Pu'er, an extraordinary tea and a style rarely found outside of China.
Bundle contents - a free ticket to the Masterclass, 1 x 50g Single Estate Lost Malawi English Breakfast, 1 x 50g Black Iced Tea, 1 x 50g Malawi Leafy Pu'er and 1 x 50g Malawi Green. You can choose to have just pouches or storage tins which will keep your tea beautifully free from the damaging effects of air and moisture.
