Style

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.

More infusion tips

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).

MALAWI

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.
