Read an unsolicited review of our Zomba Pearls by a Polish Wine Writer http://blog.polishwineguide.com/2010/12/30/white-tea-from-malawi/ It really is such an awesome tea. I haven’t had some for a while now – Saturday late morning, think it might just be the right time to enjoy a cup of Malawi’s finest!

Environment Update
We had a visit from Imani Consultants this week. They wanted to get an idea of our environmental management program and to get ideas of how we could work together on issues of Climate Change mitigation. One of the issues we discussed was how they could partner with Satemwa in the existing program we have for outgrowers in encouraging them to plant trees.
Our program with the outgrowers this year was rather humble, yet we managed to get the following trees planted out on their smallholdings; 622 Avocado Pears, 5,380 Eucalyptus spp, 27 other allsorted species. This was alongside their tea expansion program which saw 13,330 tea plants being put out by a number of growers.
The program for 2011 /12 season is yet to be defined in terms of the number of agroforestry species and fruit trees. However, Satemwa is preparing nurseries that will allow for 100,000 tea plants to go out to smallholder farmers.
