Ketepa Pride Standard Pack, 200g, 100 Tagged Teabags

The tea arrived promptly and well within its sell by date. The tea is good quality with an excellent clean flavor. An African friend recommended this tea for me.

We love, love, love Kenyan tea. The first time I had this brand I was while in Kenya. To be able yo get it from Amazon is a winner!!!!!!

After discovering KETEPA on here I have ordered 3 times and I am ordering more as we speak. Who are these people giving 1 star??!!?? I know KETEPA - acronym for KEnya TEa PAckers. Years ago I picked tea on my late grandma's farm in Kirinyaga on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. I know my tea. At the time we drank "Brooke Bond Green Label Tea" and Grandma would always a full pot of it at the stone hearth - before the days of tea bags in Kenya. Yes and before KETEPA. I know my Kenyan tea. Also - I highly highly recommend TWO TEA BAGS per cup of tea for the OOMPH! Especially if you are taking with approx. 40% whole milk 60% water mixture (called "Nylon" in Kenya). Make sure the Nylon boils first. The taste is way way different if you don't let the Nylon come to complete boil. And please, please place tea bags right after Nylon has come to full boil. Not before, and do not wait more than 2 minutes after. Another fact. Tea made with Nylon boiled on the stove tastes better than boiled in the microwave. But the convenience of the microwave has me using it a lot more than the stove. It still tastes great. The packaging does have some tea powder that escapes from the tea bags and is between the carton box and shrink wrap because the individual tea bags are stacked with no covering in the box. I would suggest KETEPA enclose the 100 tea bag contents in one or two or four bag enclosures (so the count of tea bags is uniform) maybe in ziploc mylar bags? or shrink wrap? Then put into the carton box, then shrink wrap for sale. This way they look a lot more presentable and not "jua kali". So I could have notched off a quarter star rating for this minor issue. However, I maintain my 5 star as I cannot argue with the tea quality and quantity. Thank you for making this available!!!!

This is the best black tea, I love it.

Perfect!

Its not a strong bold tea. If you like a mild tea this is perfect. Taste just like Lipton tea

Felt Kenya in thousands of miles away

I decided to write a review because this tea is pretty good. I ordered based on reviews and the fact that i have been in Africa and tried some of there teas, of which i really enjoyed. This tea isn’t super strong but it has a nice taste and stands up to milk. I love very strong dark teas, but I’ve had to dial it back a bit due to acid reflux so i look for ones that are smooth but not harsh. This tea fits the bill. Strong but not harsh. I would highly recommend it to tea drinkers. You will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers.

Very expensive

Much fresher taste and less powdery than many of the supermarket/own brand Kenyan teas. A lovely red tea.

Nothing more to say really, you don't pay a premium for tea that hasn't been foil fresh packaged, that uses bleached tea bags. Not to mention it's listed amongst the organic, worker friendly section. 23 months old in a paper box, freshness departed a year ago, 4 x the price as organic in the shops. Outrageous! I feel ripped off badly.

There is nothing better than waking up and having a cup of ketepa tea. Lovely taste. Kenyan tea is the best.

Best tea it has a smoothness to it very refresing
