Our Story

Empowerment of local farming communities (over 600,000 smallholders), ensuring fair trade and ethical sourcing

- Quality assurance: handpicked leaves, small leaf grades (two leaves and a bud), artisanal production to preserve flavor and aroma.

From Kenya’s Highlands to Your Cup!

Tea first took root in Kenya’s highlands in 1903. Over the decades, smallholder farmers embraced it, and today more than 600,000 farming families nurture the crop that has made Kenya one of the world’s leading tea producers. My family started tea production in 1957.

Grown by Nature, Perfected by Tradition

Crafted with Care

Every leaf tells a story of craftsmanship:
• Picked by Hand: Only the tender “two leaves and a bud” are chosen.
• Expertly Processed: From bold CTC black teas to delicate green, oolong, orthodox, white, and purple teas, each variety is made with precision and pride.
• Distinctive Taste: Known for briskness, strength, rich aroma, flavor, and vibrant color, our teas bring
Kenya’s character to every cup.
Our teas thrive in the volcanic soils and cool mountain air of Mount Kenya, the Aberdare Ridges, Kericho, and the Nandi Hills, at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,700 meters above sea level. Here, abundant rainfall, equatorial sunshine, fertile volcanic soils, and generations of expertise create teas of unmatched quality, harvested year-round.

Pekoe Fanning 1 (PF1) – Black and grainy with particles slightly smaller in size than those of the BP1 grade.
Dust – It's made up of the smallest particles of primary grades.
Pekoe Dust (PD) – Black and finer than the Pekoe Fanning 1. It produces thicker, more pungent liquors.

Enjoy it with a touch of lemon for an extra zing!
