Information:
Chisunga is one of Malawi's better-known teas. It is used quite extensively by the large tea blenders the world over. It has a character that tends to be somewhat malty but not overpowering. In tea tasting and tea blenders jargon, Malawi's (Malawi teas) are somewhat flavor neutral with reddish color, tending to mimic a Kenyan and generally slightly less expensive than a Kenya. Malawis are good for iced tea blends since they give good color and tend not to make the iced tea become cloudy.
