While Kenyan teas are lesser known, they are quite popular. The majority of tea bag tea actually comes from the flat growing areas of Kenya: in a recent UN food estimate (see below), the country’s tea production represented around 13% of the world’s supply. However, it is rare to find a non-CTC tea. CTC, otherwise known as Crush Tear Curl, is the production method used for turning tea leaves into tea dust, for more rapid brewing in tea bags. Kenya Kaporet is rare in that orthodox production methods are employed, allowing for a more distinct flavor than a standard tea bag will offer.

Bold, malty, robust … this is the kind of tea that I like to wake up to in the morning. It’s got some GUSTO. It’s invigorating, but it’s also quite smooth, so it would be more like a gentle nudge awake rather than an abrupt kick in the butt. And that’s the way I like to be woken up in the morning.
Distant notes of fruit and flower. Sweetness that resembles burnt sugar caramel. This is vaguely reminiscent of an Assam but without the bitterness that can be sometimes associated with Assam. A really good tea.
