Kenya prides itself as the producer of the best quality black tea in the world. In order to meet growing global consumer demand for black teas, Kenya has specialised in black tea processing and has developed a wealth of expertise to satisfy these needs. Apart from being the world’s largest exporter of black tea, Kenya also produces limited amounts of green and orthodox tea.
