The most elegant of mints, these gentle leaves make a remarkably smooth, well rounded infusion. Grown on the rolling, green hills of the Shire Highlands of Malawi; they have a delicate softness while still revealing intense layers of flavour.

This is an ideal mint to accompany food - working splendidly as a flavour pairing for both sweet and savoury dishes. It also works rather well as a digestif.

Naturally caffeine free.

Malawi

Spearmint

This native African spearmint was one of our most unusual finds. From the rolling green hills of the Shire Highlands, Malawi, it is grown by smallholders alongside the Satemwa Tea Estate, helping supplement the incomes of local families.

Like all our herbs and teas it is grown without herbicides or pesticides, beside a small river beneath the tea fields.

This is Flora, one of our smallholder farmers who grows and harvests our spearmint.
