  Kenyan Nandi White TeaChest KNW07
Rare White Tea from KENYA
While one thinks of China as the premier supplier to the world for premium white tea, Kenya in fact has been producing some amazing teas since the early 1900's.
The Nandi region is one of the oldest and best tea producing regions in the country,with it's lush highland soil,plentiful rains and warm sun. This environment allows teas to flush year round, but the best are harvested in Jan/Feb and then again in July.
High quality and increasing quantity of tea production in
Kenya has propelled it to a major player in the tea business,ranking it 3rd after China and India. That is quite a feat since the majority of land is too dry to support cash crops.
This particular white tea leaf has a pale green hue, with many whole tips...not as downy as some Chinese offerings,but the quality and care of handling is apparent.
It's liquor is smooth, yet it has a Sencha-like green finish. A nice change from traditional white teas.
>Brewing tip: 1 tsp., 176o, 2-5 min. May be used for multiple infusions.
4oz (125g) of fine loose leaf tea.
