Outstanding black tea from the Kenyan highlands. Very tippy, fresh and aromatic with a golden cup.
Even though the British introduced tea growing to the region at the end of the 20th century and the African nation now supplies about 8 per cent of the tea grown worldwide, Kenyan teas are still relatively unknown. With their incomparable variety of flavours, however, Kenyan teas are in no way inferior to the better known regions and often captivate tea drinkers who find they get more tea for their money.
