Tea story

High in the misty Nandi Hills of Kenya, at an elevation of over 7000 feet, skilled tea artisans craft this rare white tea with precision and care. The region’s volcanic soil and cool climate create an ideal environment for slow-growing tea bushes, allowing the leaves to develop an exceptional depth of flavor.

Unlike conventional white teas, which are often associated with China, this Kenyan variety stands out with its vibrant character and distinct floral perfume. The freshly plucked buds and young leaves undergo natural withering and slow air-drying, a process that preserves their delicate essential oils and enhances their complex aromatic profile.

The result is a tea that embodies both the purity of white tea craftsmanship and the bold, exotic essence of Kenyan terroir.
