kenya black kangaita tea

type: black

origin: kenya

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

A satisfying, full-bodied tea grown in the fertile portion of Kenya's Rift Valley. This tea is lighter than typical Kenyan teas and is great with milk and sugar. Kenya Black Tea is from the Kangaita (Kan-gie-E-ta) Tea Garden located near the equator at an elevation of 5,000-6000 feet. Kenya is the world's third largest supplier of tea after China and India. Most teas from Kenya are manufactured using the CTC or crush, tear and curl method which is used in tea bags. We were fortunate enough to find a garden where the tea is manufactured using the Orthodox or traditional method of processing, with a focus on top quality leaves and buds that produce robust flavor.
