AFRICA
African teas tend to be very robust and strong, smooth and round in the mouth, similar to the best Assam teas, and are often taken with milk. Although their tea tradition is fairly recent, African countries nevertheless play an important role in supplying tea to the world.
KENYA
Kenya’s finest teas are harvested early in the dry seasons between late January and early February, as well as in July. Today, Kenya is the world’s fourth largest tea producer after India, China and Ceylon.
Renowned for its coffee, Kenya began producing tea after its independence in 1963, initially to satisfy local demand. Having acquired the skill from British planters who left the country in 1947, Kenya began to produce increasingly good quality black teas on its high plateaus. Today, the Kenya Tea Development Authority assists in maintaining the uncompromising standards of great gardens such as Marinyn to produce excellent whole-leaf, broken and golden tipped teas.

SOUTH AFRICA
Exclusive to South Africa, red tea, or rooibos, has been appreciated by indigenous people for centuries, and was introduced to the world by Dutch settlers. This tea does not come from the Camellia sinensis but from a bush known as Aspalathus linearis, grown exclusively in the Cederburg region of the Western Cape Province at an altitude of 1,500 feet.
