The Kaimosi Tea Estate is situated by thick forest, on the edge lies the Sirwa river and the South Nandi Forest. This tea echoes that of an Assam but with less bite, it makes a perfect Breakfast Tea. Sunny warm mornings paired with regular rainstorms creates a briskness in this tea which is light and enjoyable.

Der Tee ist gut, aber die vorher nicht erwähnten Zollgebühren zu hoch.

This is the first time I have tried this single estate Kenyan tea and it is wonderful. It is a bright, strong pick-me-up for first thing in the morning. I shall buy this again.

Taken with milk. Good solid breakfast tea. Robust and satisfying. The smaller leaves give the tea more powerful brew

I spent some time at Kiamosi Tea Estate in the 1960’s. Drinking this enjoyable tea brings back some great memories of my time spent in Kenya.
