Satemwa Tea Estate

Satemwa Tea Estate is located in the Thyolo district in the Shire Highlands of southern Malawi. One of the oldest tea estates in Malawi, it was founded in 1923 by Maclean Kay, a Scottish immigrant and former rubber planter in Malaya, and has been handed down from generation to generation of the Cathcart Kay family.

The estate provides magnificent views of Mount Mulanje and the Lower Shire valley to the west. Visitors to the Satemwa Estate are transformed back to a by-gone era and often absorbed by the colonial feel to the area and the diverse scenery.
