Kenya – Kericho Gold at Kenyan Highlands
Most people are unaware that Kenya grows tea. In fact, it’s one of the largest tea exporters in the world! Kenyans pride themselves on their chemical-free, top quality black tea.
Grown along the equator, Kenyan tea bushes receive 12 hours of sunlight all year-round, and since only the top leaves and buds are picked, their teas have higher levels of antioxidants. Kericho Gold, in particular, is grown on rich volcanic red soil, resulting in its rich flavor and bright golden color. Guided tours roam through the vast plantations along the Kenyan Highland, hunting out not lions and cheetahs, but for the finest brews.
Address: Kericho 20200, Kenya
