White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements. The highest quality white teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally dried under the sun.
Chinese traditional medicine claims that white tea has a cooling nature, dissipating heat and reducing fire. White tea strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, prevents the development of cancer cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered that after 7 years of ageing, white tea acquires healing properties and could be used as a medicine. The taste develops and becomes richer and deeper.

BVUMBWE WHITE PEONY - WHITE TEA FROM SATEMWA
ORIGIN
Satemwa is a family-owned estate, located in Malawi, in the southern part of Africa. This place is the motherland of the first commercially grown tea in Africa since 1878. This particular white tea comes from a family that has produced tea since 1923. Skills passed on from generation to generation, inspired by eastern tea cultures, adapted to local climate conditions, and growing and processing methods refined to perfection: this tea farm can offer a wide variety of different styles of high-quality teas. The tea plantations for the production of this unique artisanal product are more than 50 years old, while also 100% organic and all the teas are fully handmade.
ORGANOLEPTICS
The leaf material used for this tea is "one bud and two leaves," which is a perfect combination to bring a full-bodied taste with exquisite notes. The colour of mature whole tea leaves varies from green to brown. The dry tea leaves have a sweet, fruity flavour. After rinsing, the aroma develops into floral, honey, dried fruit and lemonade notes. The golden colour infusion is pleasantly sweet, soft and refreshing. The tea brings associations of sauna, wooden house and countryside.
