Founded in 1923, Satemwa Tea Estate is one of the oldest family-owned tea estates in Africa, located in the fertile Shire Highlands of southern Malawi. Nestled near Mount Mulanje at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,200 meters, Satemwa has built a century-long reputation for quality, sustainability, and innovation in tea production. Established by Scottish planter Maclean Kay, the estate remains under the stewardship of the Kay family, now in its third generation. Today, Satemwa is managed by Alexander Kay, who has transformed the estate into a leading producer of artisanal teas. His commitment to tradition and experimentation has positioned Satemwa as a pioneer in African specialty tea, producing white, green, wulong, black, and dark teas using both traditional and modern techniques.
