In Malawi, the Satemwa Estate tucked away in the shire highlands has been in operation since 1923.

The leaves are hand-picked, then rolled to various degrees of oxidation. The oxidation ranges from around 10%-40%. Similar in processing to the Thyolo Oolong, Father Zambezi's Mission is using a higher quality plucking standard bringing a fuller mouthfeel and aroma. Oolong teas are the most difficult category to craft, and many \"oolong\" teas from new origins like Malawi tend to fall short. Satemwa's \"Father Zambezi's Mission\" is a rare success: the tea embodies the full-bodied, sweet-savory traits of good oolong tea. The tea won the Gold Medal Award for Malawi Tea at the 7th North American Tea Conference in Canada, hosted in Niagara Falls in 2016. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrewing Guidelines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e185F - 195F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestern Style brewing recommended.

A velvety layer of white pekoe covers the stems, creating a beautiful resemblance to deer antlers. This is one of the world's most unusual teas; its closest cousin is \u003ci\u003eKukicha\u003c\/i\u003e, a stem green tea made only in Japan. To craft this white tea, the stems must be thoroughly sun-dried, so this tea can only be made during clear, sunny days. Production stops during the rainy season.

The tea is harvested by hand, withered, and then rolled before being allowed to oxidize.

Oolong teas are the most difficult category to craft, and many \"oolong\" teas from new origins like Malawi tend to fall short.

The texture is thin but well rounded with a slight dryness. The tea is named after the local city of Thyolo, and after the Thyolo District that is this tea's home. Because the tea is composed of small flakes of leaf and fibres, it does well for blending with other ingredients, or blending together with other teas. It also takes well with milk, sugar, and\/or honey. Thyolo TSFBOP1 cold-brews well.

Each pearl is created by first harvesting a whole, full leaf set, then painstakingly rolling the leaves into a tightly-wrapped pearl. After hand-rolling, the pearls are carefully dried in the sun. The tea is truly a labor of love; Satemwa's skilled, dedicated tea workers devote a lot of effort to craft this tea, and because the tea is sun-dried, Zomba Pearls can only crafted in a limited span of time, on clear and sunny days. The pearls unfurl beautifully in hot water. The leaves yield countless infusions, with flavors unfolding and developing with each steep. This flavor profile is quite complex and fascinating to explore; the tea also matures well over time, and is well-suited to aging. Zomba Pearls are crafted with Satemwa's \"Zomba\" cultivar, named after the nearby town of Zomba. This cultivar tends to yield buttery, velvety, and lush teas, like Zomba Pearls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• • •\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrewing Guidelines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3g of leaf per 100mL of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e175F - 185F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffective with both Gongfu style \u0026amp; Western style brewing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satemwa Tea Estate","offers":[{"title":"1 ounce","offer_id":31412386889801,"sku":"","price":26.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams","offer_id":31412878016585,"sku":"","price":265.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5308\/8073\/products\/fce70629-3eea-4447-8fae-01b9230a9a77.png?v=1587611033"},{"product_id":"zomba-steamed-green","title":"Zomba Steamed Green","description":"\u003cb\u003eTea:\u003c\/b\u003e Zomba Steamed Green\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrower:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tealet.com\/grower\/profile\/37\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSatemwa Tea Estate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTea Maker:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Kay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Thyolo Mountain, Shire Highlands - Thyolo District, Malawi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElevation:\u003c\/b\u003e 1,000m (3,280ft)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCultivation:\u003c\/b\u003e Conventional - Herbicides only, no pesticides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest Date:\u003c\/b\u003e Summer 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• • •\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZomba Steamed Green is a solid everyday green tea.
