ⓘYour precious tea really needs to be kept airtight and away from light once you open it - we'd strongly recommend one of our tins to keep it safe.
Do you need a tin to store your tea?

The most elegant of mints, these gentle leaves make a remarkably smooth, well rounded infusion. Grown on the rolling, green hills of the Shire Highlands of Malawi; they have a delicate softness while still revealing intense layers of flavour.

This is an ideal mint to accompany food - working splendidly as a flavour pairing for both sweet and savoury dishes. It also works rather well as a digestif.

Naturally caffeine free.

A delicate softness while still revealing intense layers of flavour.

17p per cup based on 1g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.

Satemwa Estate, Shire Highlands, Malawi

Recommended Infusion Guide

  • Quantity

    Use 1g of tea per 150ml of water.

  • Temperature

    For the optimum infusion use 100°C water.

  • Time

    Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

  • Infusions

    You can infuse these herbs at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

NaN -Infinity

How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.

Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

Spearmint

This native African spearmint was one of our most unusual finds. From the rolling green hills of the Shire Highlands, Malawi, it is grown by smallholders alongside the Satemwa Tea Estate, helping supplement the incomes of local families.

Like all our herbs and teas it is grown without herbicides or pesticides, beside a small river beneath the tea fields.

This is Flora, one of our smallholder farmers who grows and harvests our spearmint.

Tastes as good as it smells

Opening up the package, you can't help but smile. This mint has a brightness to it that puts every other mint tea I've ever had to shame. Brew up a cup, sit back, and relax. It will make you want to slow down and enjoy.

Malawi Spearmint

This spearmint smells absolutely heavenly and certainly adds beautiful flavor to any blend!!! It is clearly very high quality compared to other products I have purchased from other tea shops. I prefer my leaves like this instead of all ground up into microscopic pieces!!!

A refreshing change!

I drink a range of teas, and would normally pick peppermint as my mint option. However, this was a fantastic alternative - I found it lighter and more refreshing in some ways. I will definitely continue to buy it and likely turn to it more than peppermint in the future.
