Ajiri Tea is a robust Kenyan black tea. The tea is grown on small-scale farms in the Kisii highlands of western Kenya. The word “Ajiri” means “to employ” in Swahili. Ajiri Tea was started with the social mission of creating employment for the people of western Kenya and of educating the local orphans. Through the sale of Ajiri Tea, we hope to create a sustainable cycle of community employment and education.
Each label is handmade by women in western Kenya, using dried banana leaves and bark from banana trees. Currently, we have 57 women in western Kenya making the labels. All profits are donated to the Ajiri Foundation, a 501c3 that pays school fees for orphans in western Kenya.
