What's included
Gatura Greens’ story began in 1959 when our grandfather became one of the first black Kenyans allowed to plant tea commercially on the slopes of the Aberdare Mountains. He passed on his passion to our father, who later pioneered Kenya’s cultivation of Purple Tea, establishing the country’s first Purple Tea farm and building a specialty tea factory that processes over 10 tea variants for export, including Purple Tea, Green Tea, Black Tea, and hibiscus tea. Today, more than six decades later, we have expanded into tea tourism, offering immersive farm tours led by my brother, a walking tea encyclopedia, and launched our luxury specialty tea line, BREW IT, to share our family’s love for premium orthodox teas with the world.
