142 Malawi Satemwa Antlers

Unique tea without leaves!

This tea is made from only the leaf stems of the tea, the leaf is missing. So does it taste like tea you would think? The surprising thing is, these stems actually contain a lot of flavor! Because there are fewer polyphenols in the stems, this infusion does not become astringent.

Antlers are soft like the antlers of a deer, the leaves are removed after drying, a process that can take a few days. This also puts them in the white tea class.
