    Malawi Zen

    A white tea with bright lime-green leaves and silver tips.
    From €8.00

    Brewing Tips

    Quantity of tea leaves: 3 gram
    Temperature of water: 80°
    Infusion time: 3 minutes
    Maximum number of infusions: 2 times

    Begin by heating water to 80°C, the ideal temperature to unlock the delicate and nuanced flavours of Malawi Zen. For a Western-style brew, place about 3 grams of Malawi Zen leaves into your teapot or infuser (about 250 ml), ensuring there is ample space for the leaves to expand and release their essence.

    Pour the heated water over the leaves, fully covering them, and let them steep for 3 minutes for the initial infusion. Enjoy up to two infusions, maintaining the water temperature at 80°C and slightly extending the brewing time for the second infusion to fully appreciate the tea’s complex profile.

    If you are brewing it using the Eastern gong fu cha method, use around 5 g of leaf for your gaiwan or small teapot (around 120 ml).

    Malawi Zen also serves as the perfect base for a delicious iced tea. Add fresh Malawian sugarcane, lemon, and crushed ice for a refreshing flavour bomb during hot summer days. No matter the brewing technique, Malawi Zen will consistently deliver a beautiful infusion with a smooth and refreshing taste.

    A rare white tea, hand-rolled into olive-green pearls.

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.
