Whiskey Tombolombo

Whiskey Tombolombo is a distinctive tea from Satemwa Tea Estate in southern Malawi. Its base is a hand-rolled oolong – locally known as Moolong – aged for two to three weeks in used whisky barrels from Cape Town. The barrels are rotated every few days to keep the tea evenly in contact with the oak and its aromas.

Through this maturation, the tea absorbs subtle notes of whisky and wood without losing the essence of the oolong tea. The result is a complex, layered tea with gentle malt tones and a hint of chocolate.

The infusion carries aromas of red fruit and ripe peach, with warm pear and caramel undertones. Whiskey Tombolombo reflects how experimentation and craftsmanship can yield a truly unique tea.

Storing loose leaf tea correctly is important to preserve its freshness and flavour. Keep it away from the four elements that affect quality: air, heat, light, and moisture.
