The finest tea awaits a top the lofty peaks, accessible only to the daring souls who seek its essence, and there we venture.
Nestled at the foot of the Kenyan Aberdare Ranges amidst the serene countryside of central region, where rolling hills carpeted with vibrant tea bushes stretch as far as the eye can see, there stands a remarkable icon known as the Kiru Tea Factory. This factory is more than just a production facility; it’s the heart and soul of a centuries-old tradition, a testament to the dedication of its workers, and a guardian of the art of tea-making.
The story of Kiru Tea Factory began generations ago when we embarked on a journey to create exceptional teas that would captivate the senses and nourish the soul. The factory, nestled amidst emerald green tea gardens of Muranga, became a beacon of craftsmanship and innovation. Here, skilled pluckers carefully pluck tea leaves by hand, selecting only the tenderest buds and leaves, ensuring that every cup of tea brewed from Kiru tea leaves would be a masterpiece of flavor and aroma.
The tea-making process at Kiru is a ballet of precision and tradition. With practiced hands, the leaves are gently withered, rolled, oxidized, and fired to perfection. Each step is a labor of love, passed down through generations, preserving the essence of centuries-old wisdom.
Kiru Tea Factory has over the years become renowned not only for its exceptional teas but also for its commitment to sustainability and the well-being of its workers. The factory has embraced eco-friendly practices, conserving the pristine natural surroundings and nurturing the communities that depend on the tea gardens.
As the years flow by, Kiru Tea has remained resilient, evolving its methods while staying true to the core values of quality, authenticity, and sustainability. Today, Kiru stands as a living testament to the enduring power of tea, tradition, and the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. Its teas grace tables around the world and each sip a reflection of the land, the people, and the love that goes into every leaf.
