Kenyan Tea
Home : Articles : Kenyan Tea

Kenya is known as the tea capital of the world, exporting more tea than anywhere else in the world including India, China and Sri Lanka.

The center of tea production in Kenya is Kericho, located 7000 feet above sea level. It has the perfect climate for cultivating large amounts of high quality tea because of it's high ground temperature and also it's high rainfall levels, caused by the close proximity of Lake Victoria.

The climate at Kericho is special because it allows tea to be picked all year round. In fact, tea is picked here every 17 days rather than the first and second flush picking elsewhere in the world.

Believe it or not, but Barry's Irish tea is actually made from a special blend of Kenyan and Indian tea! Kenyan tea has a unique body and taste which helps to give Barry's it's full-bodied appeal. Most of the famous black English teas come from Kenya and are then exported to England, blended with other teas and then packaged.
