    Brewing Tips

    Quantity of tea leaves: 2 gram
    Temperature of water: 100°
    Infusion time: 5 minutes
    Maximum number of infusions: 2 times

    To fully enjoy the invigorating and warming cup of African Citrus, start by heating water to 100°C. The boiling temperature is suitable for all herbal infusions, perfect for extracting the rich flavours and health benefits from the blend. Place about 2 grams of African Citrus into your teapot or infuser (about 250 ml), ensuring there’s enough space for the herbs to expand and release their flavours.

    Pour the boiling water over the African Citrus blend, completely covering the ingredients, and let it steep for 5 minutes. The infusion time can be adjusted to personal preference, with a brief steeping period for a subtle taste and a longer steeping period resulting in a stronger flavour.

    As you drink your cuppa, enjoy the rich, citrusy notes balanced by sweet undertones. African Citrus can be enjoyed hot for a warming experience or cold for a refreshing iced tea.

    Tasting Profile

    African Citrus offers a sensory delight with its bright and aromatic blend of herbs. The dry leaves present a colourful medley of green lemongrass strands and vibrant lemon verbena leaves, creating an inviting visual contrast.

    The aroma and flavour are citrus-forward, with lemongrass contributing a fresh, zesty tang that is both uplifting and aromatic, while verbena adds a subtle, lemony sweetness with a hint of floral undertones.

    Once brewed, African Citrus reveals a vivid yellowish-golden hue, and the flavour profile is equally dynamic and soothing. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a lingering, refreshing aftertaste that rejuvenates the senses.

    Storage

    Properly storing the African Citrus herbs is crucial to retain its freshness and flavor. The key is to protect them from the elements that can compromise their quality: air, heat, light, and moisture.

Tea from Malawi – Authentic African flavors, rich in tradition

Tea from Malawi holds a unique place in history: this is Africa’s first commercial tea-producing country. In the south, between the hills of Thyolo and Mulanje, tea fields have been part of daily life since 1891. The climate proved suitable: cool nights, regular rainfall and fertile soils in the shadow of Mount Mulanje.

While most tea from Malawi is processed for blends and everyday consumption, a smaller but growing segment focuses on orthodox, handcrafted production. From rare white tea pearls to oolongs matured in whisky barrels, these specialty teas show what is possible when tradition, terroir and craftsmanship come together.
