Zomba Pearls

Hand-rolled white tea from Malawi

Grown high in the Shire Highlands of southern Malawi, Zomba Pearls are a rare and captivating white tea from the historic Satemwa Tea Estate. Each pearl is meticulously hand-rolled from the tenderest spring leaves, then sun-dried in small batches — a labour of love that captures the essence of the African terroir.

As the pearls unfurl in hot water, they release a silky, golden liquor with gentle floral notes, buttery undertones, and a soft finish. Naturally low in caffeine and rich in antioxidants, Zomba Pearls are as meditative as they are indulgent — perfect for quiet rituals or elegant gifting.

Zomba Pearls can also be re-steeped 3-5 times, unlocking new flavours with each steep.
