My favourite tea of all time

I recently tried another tea as my default breakfast brew: what a mistake. This Lost Malawi is my go-to tea to get up to - or even later in the day if I want a calming cuppa. Well-balanced and flavoursome, I heartily recommend it.

Lost Malawi

I first discovered Lost Malawi tea a few years ago and I have now come back to it after becoming bored and disillusioned with commercial teas/blends. This tea is rich, dark and sweetish with an almost smokey depth. With milk it becomes malty and strong, just the thing to get you up in the morning. Good quality tea is not often available, but is so different when you find it. I don't drink tea in restaurants/cafes any more!

Beautifully Balanced

This is my new favourite tea, and I probably enjoy it as much as I do a nice glass of ale these days! It has rounded malty notes and an underlying caramel character, with a great depth of flavour, but with no astringent tannins. Whilst of course quite expensive, it is worth the price for the enjoyment that the tea brings ,alongside the fact that you know that this product has been sourced sustainably, and direct from the grower, so that they receive a fair price for their great efforts.

So delicious!

This tea has such a wonderful flavour, malty and biscuity, and it makes a satisfying second brew … it’s my new favourite!

Lovely English Breakfast Tea from Malawi

I bought this tea from Waitrose. An excellent tea from Malawi. Clear cut taste, earthy, slightly sweet aftertaste. No need for milk. A tea for all occasions.

Tasting Notes

Deep, rich and malty, it has notes of caramel and burnt sugar. Delicious black, becoming sweet and chocolatey with the addition of milk.

Quantity

Use 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water.

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 85°C (185°F) water. If you like milk, please use water at 100°C (212°F).

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusion

You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

Cost Per Cup

16p per cup based on 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Malawi

The Satemwa Tea Estate

Grown and lovingly made on a farm called Satemwa on Thyolo Mountain in the Shire Highlands of Malawi. Satemwa is the oldest tea estate in Malawi, still run by the same family - Alex is the 3rd generation Kay to look after the garden.

DEPTH

3D tea

This is not a modern industrial blend churned out by vast machines. Lost Malawi is an old fashioned tea crafted in small batches with great care. It has a depth and quality almost forgotten. To compare this to an ordinary tea would be like comparing a line-drawing with a sculpture. This is like drinking normal tea but in 3D.

Seasonal

Single Estate Varietals

Like all good crops the leaf is seasonal - picked only when the tea bush is at its best. The tea is blended from different varietals and harvests across the estate to build great depth of flavour and rich complexity. Lost Malawi is the perfect breakfast or afternoon Tea. Delicious with milk and sugar, it is also wonderful on its own. It goes splendidly with eggs and bacon and clotted cream and scones.
