Kenya Marinyn Estate Kenya Marinyn Estate Stash Kenya Marinyn Estate Tea was first grown in Africa in Malawi in 1887, and has been grown in Kenya since 1903. The main growing area , the Kenya Highlands, is an extensive area on both sides of the Rift Valley between Mount Kenya and Lake Victoria, close to the Equator. These highlands range in altitude from five to nine thousand feet. They enjoy abundant rainfall and are the birthplace of the Nile River. Thanks to the Tea Development Authority of Kenya, most of the country s tea acreage is farmed by small landholders.
Tea is plucked by hand and processed in modern facilities.
Kenya is likely to remain Africa s leading tea producer, with an annual yield of more than 100 million pounds. Our tea comes from the Marinyn Estate located in the Kericho District. This rare orthodox leaf tea is grown in rich red soil among eucalyptus trees. It brews to a reddish brown color and is exquisitely tippy. The flavor is strong with a full aroma.
