Kenyan Teas - Distinctive and Delicious

Tea GardensSome of the highest quality African teas are produced in Kenya. Its tea growing regions are perfect for tea cultivation, with rich, volcanic soils and a climate that provides plenty of sunshine and rainfall, to help produce excellent teas with the most distinctive flavours. Most of Kenya’s tea gardens are located in mountainous areas, where tea grows at altitudes of 1,500 to 2,000 m.

Tea has been cultivated in Kenya since 1903, when it was introduced by GWL Caine, a European man who brought Camellia sinensis seedlings from India and planted them in the town that is now known as Limuru. By 1924, tea was being grown commercially in the area by the company Brooke Bond. Kenya is now one of the world’s largest tea growers, producing mostly black teas, as well as green, yellow and white.
