Description

The Kenyan Lelsa Tea estate has been producing tea for over 60 years and is situated in the Kericho district east of the rift valley. The Lelsa estate is at an altitude of over 5500 feet and has a very rich fertile soil profile producing some of Kenya's best quality teas. Lelsa is especially famous for its white teas. 

Grade- Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe ( FBOP )

Ingredients- Black Tea from Kenya

Brewing Guide- We recommend using 1 teaspoon of the leaf, but if you like a stronger tea, then you could use up to 1½. This tea tastes best with freshly boiled water (roughly 100 degrees) and left to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes. If you wanted your tea to be stronger, you can leave it for up to 7 minutes.

How to Serve- Depending on taste, you can drink this tea black, or add milk, lemon, sugar, mint or honey.

Tasting Notes- Smooth with floral notes

Colour in Cup- A light coppery colour

Pack sizes available- 50g, 125g, 250g, 500g, 1 Kilo. ( We pack everything fresh to order, nothing is off the shelf ! ). We pack all our teas in a unique material which combines card and foil, regarded as the best for retaining freshness and quality.

Storage- In an airtight container away from other strong scents and heat. We would recommend using this tea within a year of purchasing.

Health Benefits- Black tea has been said to help aid weight-loss. It also contains a nice level of caffeine to give you a more natural boost without the crash after a few hours.

Advice on tea you might like- Kenya Tea, Kenya Kosabei TGFOP or Kenya Milima Loose Leaf Tea

  1. Decent, basic Kenya tea, but with much less depth and length than the best.

  2. Rich, pleasant taste; I got fond of Kenya teas, and the shop has a good variety of those. This one leaves long-lasting, fragrant aftertaste.

  3. I find a lot of Kenyan teas quite astringent or washy. Lelsa has a lovely clean and crisp almost 'grassy' distinctive flavour with no astringency and a light character.
    Where Assam Panitola would be the Worthington White Shield IPA of the tea world, Lelsa is the tasty session bitter.
