When most people think of African tea, they picture bold, brisk black teas built for breakfast. African Antlers turns that expectation on its head. This rare white tea hails from the Satemwa estate in Malawi, one of Africa's most storied tea-growing regions, and is made primarily from dark, silvery twigs and buds, giving it a strikingly unusual appearance even among white teas. The result is a cup that is light-bodied and deeply golden, with a gentle sweetness and a soft, peachy warmth that lingers long after the last sip. We were captivated the moment this tea crossed our path, and we're proud to offer it as something truly unlike anything else in our collection.

Abigail Q. ★★★★★

I was expecting another heavy breakfast tea, but this white tea from Satemwa is incredibly delicate and floral. The leaves are so light and fluffy that they almost float in the cup, and the brew is surprisingly sweet with none of the bitterness I usually get.

Elizabeth V. ★★★★★

The complete opposite of the usual breakfast tea—it’s delicate and silky, with a soft sweetness that lingers long after each sip. I’ve been brewing it lightly and it’s become my quiet afternoon ritual.

Brian F. ★★★★★

The Satemwa estate provenance really comes through—this white tea is delicate and silky, nothing like the heavy breakfast blends I usually grab. I brewed it light and the sweetness lingered in a way that made my whole afternoon slow down.
