A rare find.

I was initially looking for China White Peony Tea but it was out of stock, the very helpful team at Rare Tea Company recommended the Malawi Peony White Tea as a alternative and I am over the moon to have discovered another delicious tea. It is very delicate in taste not quite as sweet as the China white but still refreshing and light. I will certainly order this one again.

Delicious

This tea arrived in a separate bag to the rest of my order. It has clearly been packaged with extra care and I can see why after tasting the result. As the other reviews say, absolutely divine flavour. Sweet and moreish with every sip and can easily be brewed several times while retaining colour and flavour for each cup. I even let it accidentally brew for 15 minutes recently and was worried I had ruined it. I tried the brew and it was an explosion of flavour with zero bitterness! The caffeine hit was an added bonus! Excellent quality and I will be recommending for anyone who would like to try a white tea that stands well on its own.

Divine

This is my absolute favorite white tea! It's delicate and elegant, with a sophisticated flavor, slightly floral without being overpowering. If you like Oolong, you'll probably love this too.

Another lovely tea!

This tea has a delightful flavour with white tea and peony combining to provide a sweet cuppa. If you prefer a sweeter tea, this is a great one to try.

Malawi

The Satemwa Estate

A small, family run tea garden in the Shire Highlands of Malawi.

TASTE

Malawi Peony

These leaves taste even more beautiful than they look.

It has taken some years to find a way of shipping this White Peony from the Shire Highlands of landlocked Malawi to Britain - preserving the fragile beauty of these whole leaves. It has been worth our every effort.

Antlers

Camellia Sinensis

Like the Malawi Antlers this tea comes from the same unique varietal of Camellia sinensis. It is the particular and peculiar varietal from certain fields on the Satemwa estate that produce this wonderful tea - quite unlike any other.

The leaves are painstakingly handcrafted to retain the most sublime flavours.
