KENYA BROKEN PEKOE

About the tea

Kenya Broken Orange Pekoe is a robust and flavorful black tea renowned for its bright, brisk cup. Grown in the highlands of Kenya, where the high altitude and rich volcanic soil create ideal conditions for tea cultivation, this tea boasts a distinctive character that sets it apart from other black teas.  

The Kenyan climate, with its abundant sunshine and cool nights, allows for the slow growth and development of tea plants. This results in a tea with a complex flavour profile, featuring bright citrus notes, a malty undertone, and a lingering, slightly astringent finish. The tea’s briskness and full-bodied nature make it a popular choice for tea drinkers who enjoy a strong, flavorful cup.  

Kenya has a rich history of tea production, dating back to the late 19th century when British colonists introduced tea plants to the region. The country’s ideal growing conditions and skilled tea producers quickly established Kenya as a major player in the global tea market. Today, Kenya is one of the world’s leading tea exporters, producing a wide range of high-quality teas, including Broken Orange Pekoe.  

Kenya Broken Orange Pekoe is a versatile tea that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be brewed as a traditional cup of tea, or it can be used to create a variety of tea-based beverages, such as iced tea or tea cocktails. Whether you prefer your tea strong and bold or light and refreshing, Kenya Broken Orange Pekoe is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
