Tea

Quality green leaf

Our tea bushes grow on well-kept fields. The leaf is plucked by hand to the "two leaves and a bud" standard and delivered fresh to tea factories for processing.

  • Hand-plucked: two leaves and a bud only
  • Delivered fresh to established tea factories
  • Well-maintained bushes with regular pruning and care
  • 5 acres under tea
  • Grown at 1,962 m (6,437 ft) above sea level
  • Tea clone 15/10

🍃 Our plucking standard

Only two leaves and a bud

The secret of good tea starts at the very tip of the bush. Our pluckers pick only the tender unopened bud and the two youngest leaves below it, nothing coarser.

  1. 1
    The budThe soft, silvery tip that is still unfurling. It is the most delicate part of the plant.
  2. 2
    The first leafYoung, bright and full of the natural juices that give tea its flavour and colour.
  3. 3
    The second leafCompletes the "fine plucking" standard. Older, harder leaves are left on the bush to keep it healthy.

Fine plucking by hand, every round, means our factories receive fresh, even green leaf that makes better made tea.

Dairy

Fresh milk from a healthy herd

Our dairy cows are well fed, regularly checked by the vet, and milked under clean conditions. Every cow and calf is recorded from birth so we can track breeding and production.

  • Fresh milk produced daily
  • Supplied to local dairy processors
  • Planned breeding, with every cow's family line and daily milk recorded in our Farm ERP
  • Mainly Friesians, chosen for their high milk production, alongside a few other breeds

Available on enquiry: in-calf heifers, weaned calves and manure.

🌱 New: pilot project

Our fruit tree pilot

Our newest venture is a small pilot orchard. Orange trees and pomegranates are already bearing fruit on the farm.

  • Oranges and pomegranates growing among our crops
  • Testing which fruit trees do best at 1,962 m in Bomet
  • Fed with manure from our own animals
  • A step towards more variety and income from the same land

As the pilot grows, we will share what we learn with neighbouring farmers and visitors.
