About Kenya
Kenyan tea is renowned for its brisk, bright character and golden liquor, making it a staple in households across the UK. At the heart of our Kenya collection is Williamson Tea Duchess Grey, a harmonious blend of black teas infused with citrus notes of lemon and orange peel, bergamot, and a touch of lavender. Produced by Williamson Tea, one of East Africa's leading estates established in 1869, this tea offers a refined twist on the classic Earl Grey, ideal for afternoon tea or a morning pick-me-up.

Sourced from high-altitude plantations around Kericho, Kenyan teas benefit from ideal growing conditions—volcanic soils, ample rainfall, and cool nights—that yield leaves with superior flavour and aroma. Each 50-teabag pack (available in cases of 6) ensures convenience for regular enjoyment, whether you're hosting a tea party or stocking your pantry.

Pair Duchess Grey with scones and clotted cream for a traditional British treat with a Kenyan flair, or enjoy it iced on warm summer days. It's versatile for brewing in a teapot or cup, steeping for 3-5 minutes in freshly boiled water. For authenticity, store in a cool, dry place away from strong odours to preserve its delicate fragrance. Our commitment to quality means every sip transports you to Kenya's rolling hills, supporting sustainable farming practices that protect this vital industry.

Where is Williamson Tea sourced from?
