Kenyan Tea: A Taste of Tradition and Excellence
At African Pandora, our Kenyan tea embodies the rich heritage and exceptional quality that has made Kenya one of the world’s leading tea producers. Grown in the mist-covered highlands, where the soil is rich and the climate ideal, our tea is a celebration of nature’s bounty and centuries-old farming traditions.
Grown in the Heart of Kenya
Kenyan tea is cultivated in the lush, rolling hills of regions such as Kericho, Nandi, and Nyeri. These areas are renowned for their high-altitude farms, where the cooler temperatures and abundant rainfall create the perfect conditions for tea leaves to develop their robust flavours and deep amber hues. Our farmers use sustainable practices, working in harmony with the environment to produce tea that is both ethical and extraordinary.
The Harvesting Tradition
The art of tea harvesting in Kenya is rooted in precision and care. Only the top two leaves and the bud are plucked by hand, ensuring the highest quality in every batch. This meticulous process, carried out by skilled farmers, preserves the delicate flavours and aromas that make Kenyan tea world-renowned.
Processing the Perfect Brew
Once harvested, the tea leaves are transported to state-of-the-art facilities for processing. Here, traditional and modern techniques blend seamlessly to create teas that range from vibrant black to earthy green and herbal blends. Every stage is overseen by experts who ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to the highest international standards. The process involves:
- Withering: Reducing moisture to prepare the leaves for further processing.
- Rolling: Enhancing flavour by breaking the leaf cells.
- Fermentation (for black tea): Developing the signature bold taste and aroma.
- Drying and Sorting: Locking in flavour and preparing the tea for packaging.
A Cup of Kenyan Excellence
Kenyan tea is more than just a beverage—it’s an experience. Its bright, full-bodied flavour and natural aroma make it a favourite among tea enthusiasts worldwide. Whether enjoyed as a morning pick-me-up, a midday refresher, or a calming evening ritual, our tea brings a touch of Kenya’s beauty to your cup.
Sustainability and Fair Trade
At African Pandora, we are proud to support sustainable farming practices and fair-trade principles. By working directly with farmers, we ensure they receive fair compensation while promoting environmental conservation.
From the vibrant green fields of Kenya to your teapot, our tea reflects a commitment to quality, heritage, and the spirit of the land it comes from. Sip, savour, and discover the story of Kenyan tea with every brew.
