Discover Kenyan Tea
Kenya is the world’s largest exporter of black tea and ranks third in global tea production. Its teas are prized worldwide for their rich flavor, vibrant color, and high antioxidant content—thanks to Kenya’s ideal growing conditions.
What Makes Kenyan Tea Exceptional:
- 🌱 Naturally Grown: Cultivated without pesticides or chemical sprays.
- 🌋 Volcanic Soils: Grown in mineral-rich volcanic soils of the central highlands and Rift Valley.
- 🏔️ High Altitude Farming: Elevation boosts antioxidant content and enhances flavor.
- ✋ Hand-Picked Leaves: Carefully harvested by hand to preserve leaf integrity and flavor.
- 👩🌾 Women-Led Workforce: About 75% of the tea pickers are women, many from smallholder farms.
- 🌍 Smallholder Contribution: Over 60% of Kenya’s tea is produced by small-scale farmers.
- 💱 Economic Backbone: Tea is Kenya’s top foreign exchange earner—outpacing tourism, coffee, and horticulture.
Each cup of Kenyan tea reflects the richness of the land and the resilience of the people behind it.
What Is Purple Tea?
Purple tea is a rare Kenyan varietal of the Camellia sinensis plant, developed after 25 years of research by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya (TRFK). It stands out for its striking color and powerful health benefits.
1. Why Choose Purple Tea?
- 💜 Naturally Purple Leaves: The deep hue comes from anthocyanins—antioxidants also found in berries and beets.
- 🧘♀️ Gently Energizing: Contains significantly less caffeine than green or black tea—calm energy without the jitters.
- 🌿 Antioxidant-Rich: Offers more antioxidants than traditional teas, supporting overall wellness.
2. Ethically and Safely Produced:
- ✋ Hand-Picked: Sourced from small-scale Kenyan farms where each leaf is carefully harvested.
- 🏭 Certified Processing: Processed in ISO-certified factories (ISO 22000 for food safety, ISO 9000 for quality management).
A beautiful blend of science, tradition, and health—straight from the heart of Kenya.

Behind The Leaf - Tea Journal
Let customers speak for us
A friend introduced me to Kenyan tea and when I found leafberri I knew I had a treasure!
I started with 1 teaspoon, my usual with black or green tea. It was so light.Then, I smelled the leaves when I went to do a second steep: sweet and lovely, almost floral? Today I had a 2-teaspoon cup, and loved it! Second steep, and still loved it!
A lovely tea which changes colour with the addition of lemon. Nice reheated the following day.
I love how gently the flavor is… I love tea but I don’t want an overwhelming flavor to it. This is perfect and it brews so beautifully.
This is absolutely delicious and high quality tea! I have enjoyed all the kinds I have tried and this one is no exception! I love how nutritionally powerful it is, too!
The tea is excellent, either hot or cold it is a must for tea lovers.
I truly appreciated the personalized note that accompanied my order. Our household has truly enjoyed all of the teas that we ordered. The passion being the crowd favorite. We will be ordering again.
Love this tea. Met the owner at a farmers market and fell in love with the tea after a taste test. Been using it a few weeks now this is my second batch. I'm noticing my acne clearing up, pain relief and overall feeling better in my body. Would definitely recommend to others!
