About The Lesla Tea Estate

This Estate has produced Tea for over 60 years, with its remarkable reputation preceding itself. It lies in the Kericho district, east of the rift valley at altitudes of over 5,500 feet.

This high elevation, combined with the fertile soil and excellent climatic conditions, contributes significantly to the quality of the Tea. Indeed, our very own Kenya Silvertip Lesla Estate is one of the finest examples.

About Silvertip Tea

If White Tea worked on a strict grading system, Silvertip (also known as “Ying Zhen” and “Silver Needle”) would make it to the top. Workers craft these remarkable Loose Leaf varieties from tender spring buds just before they unfurl into new leaves.

By doing this, the quality of Silvertip Tea tends to be unparalleled. The taste, meanwhile, is, put simply, exquisite.

About Kenya Tea

Despite Tea from China dating back some 5,000 years, its Kenyan counterpart only came into existence near the beginning of the last century. It was a Scotsman named Arnold Butler who began making Kenya Tea for commercial purposes in 1918.

Since then, however, its popularity has soared, with the UK importing around 50% of its Tea from Kenya. Why not start your journey with this one?
