Kikuyu Highland Tea grows on the slopes east of the Great Rift Valley where it was introduced at the turn of the 20^th Century by two European settlers, known as the Caine Brothers.

Commercial tea plantations were then begun in the 1920’s, the main plant being the world re-known Assam type.

This type of tea matures slowly, developing strong natural enzymes that give the tea a markedly superior taste. Growing and processing is done with utmost care to ensure that yields meet rigorous international standards.

Today, tea from the Kikuyu highlands continues to thrive and has consistently been the country’s no. 1 foreign exchange earner.
