Within the highlands of Malawi, Africa, lies a third-generation family-owned tea garden with an eye for quality and innovation. Their latest creation? Barrel Aged Malawi, a rich & malty black tea naturally scented over the course of several weeks in whisky barrels from a small distillery in Cape Town, South Africa. The result is an alcohol-free but still deeply aromatic blend with notes of oak, stewed red fruits, warming spices and a lingering finish of caramelized sugars that only seems to deepen as you sip. We’re thrilled to carry this limited-edition blend made in very small batches.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The malty depth on this is unreal — it's smooth enough to drink black without any sugar. The barrel aging comes through as this subtle oak-y warmth in the finish, not smoky or fake tasting at all. Already on my second tin.

Evelyn I. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about barrel aging a black tea, but the first steep won me over — it's smooth with this deep, almost cocoa-like richness underneath. The malty finish lingers a good while, and I've already gone through half the tin in two weeks.

Benjamin W. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about barrel aging doing much for black tea, but the first steep changed my mind — it drinks almost like a stout, with that malty sweetness lingering well past the swallow. Been having it plain every morning instead of my usual English Breakfast.
