Lost Malawi is a rich black tea. It comes from Thyolo Mountain in the Shire Highlands of Malawi. Lost Malawi is an old fashioned tea crafted in small batches with great care. Like all good crops the leaf is seasonal - picked only when thet tea bush is at is best. For this reason there is only a limited supply. Strong and satisfying, Lost Malawi is the perfect Afternoon Tea . Delicious with milk and sugar, it is also wonderful on its own. To compare this to an ordinary afternoon tea blend would be like comparing a line-drawing with a sculpture. This is like drinking tea in 3-D. Because of the quality of the leaf Lost Malawi doesn't just make one pot. Refill with fresh water (just below boiling point ). The second infusion is even better than the first. Using 1g per cup, each 50g tin makes 50 cups of tea - 13p a cup. (6.5p if you make 2 infusions) A really affordable luxury. Lost Malawi is 100% Fairtrade tea. Part of the money you spend goes on providing the local community with fresh water, adult education and solar power as well as scholarships for orphans. Each tin comes with one of a collection of short stories written by Alexander McCall Smith.
