Utz Update

Satemwa has just sold its first Utz Certified tea this week – this is a forward sale for January shipment as Satemwa is largely sold out of tea for December production! This sale follows on a recent trip by Christopher Mazombwe (Satemwa’s Senior Estates Manager) to attend a seminar arranged by Utz in Kenya to train on, discuss and debate the Utz program and visit some KTDA operations there.

Star Cuppers On Satemwa

Mark Gomani (Coffee Unit Manager) and Chisomo Kastomu ( Tea Maker and Coffee Roaster ) recently attended a weeks training course organised by the Coffee Association of Malawi in conjunction with the East African Fine Coffee’s Association and the Coffee Quality Institute of the US.

This resulted in both these Gents being awarded ‘Star Cupper’ status under the Coffee Quality Institute’s program. A great achievement and a milestone in our journey towards speciality coffee production at Satemwa.
