These beautiful white tea pearls from the Satemwa Tea Estate in Malawi are loaded with crisp, fresh flavor. They re-steep multiple times and yield a sweet, smooth cup with vegetal notes and a touch of malt and honey if you steep it with hotter water for a longer time. This is perfect tea to accompany you while you work or read, as it has loads of delicious character and is very forgiving to over-brewing.
Zomba Pearls are rolled by hand on cloudless days and dried in the sun. Elevation is about 1000m.

As time went on, I kept thinking about it. Enough so I went to hunt down where else I might find it. Thus the Steeping Room.
Its been long enough that I can’t directly compare the two in my head. However, my feelings are very similar. I am enjoying this though not in a daily drinker kind of way.
I keep expecting vegetal or floral notes but I am detecting neither, at least not with my usual steeping parameters. I’m having a hard time coming up with the words to describe the flavor, but it is rich, warm, and maybe malty (I don’t have a great grasp on what malty is yet), though not like any of my black teas.
Five pearls for my little 8oz pot seems to be working well. Resteeps like crazy.
