Wonderful richness of the mild astringent taste of Kenyan tea
is the specialty feature of the Greenfield Kenyan Sunrise. Festive brightness of the brew resembles
glaring African sun that shines all year round over the mountainous district of Kericho where
Greenfield Kenyan Sunrise is harvested. …Hemingway called Kenya “the soul of Africa”. This country
fascinates with beauty, it sparkles with many facets as a huge diamond of the first water that plays
in the sunrays of the African Sun. Deep Rift Valley with a chain of lakes pink from numerous
flamingos living at their shores runs here across the equator that divides Kenya into two equal
parts. There are many national parks in the Rift Valley area populated with “the big five” of the
animal world – lions, leopards, buffalos, elephants and rhinos, then there is an endless Savannah
plateau crowned with the grand mount of Kilimanjaro. However, humans also contributed to the
magic Kenyan landscapes where soft green carpets run down the mountainous slopes. This man made
miracle brought worldwide fame to the country. Today Kenyan tea is so popular in the world that one
can hardly believe in the relatively young age of the country’s tea industry. The first tea bushes
appeared in Kenya less than one hundred years ago – in the middle of the 1920s. Kenyan tea
capital is the district of Kericho located at both sides of Great Rift Valley. Here in the
equatorial heat through an unbelievable caprice of nature a real paradise for tea was created –
Kericho plantations are located at the height of over 2000 meters above sea level – here it is
always cool and very humid and almost every day it rains. All this creates wonderful conditions for
growing tea and tea leaves are harvested in Kenya all year round, every 17 days. Kenyan teas are
appreciated around the whole world as organic products as they are grown at high altitudes in the
pure mountainous atmosphere. However, their main merit is original and very mild aroma, wonderful
rich flavour and special fullness of the amber brew. Shortly speaking, all the precious tea aroma
and flavour notes that in abundance are present in a cup of the Greenfield Kenyan Sunrise. By the
way, as connoisseurs say, Kenyan tea ideally goes with milk.
