Tinderet Estate Tea Information:  Visit Tinderet on a bright sunny morning, the air thick with birdsong, a gentle breeze ruffling the lush se of green and you may think you've arrived in the mythological land of Shangre La.  The estate, which sits at the foot of soaring Mt. Tinderet (2640 meters) on the edge of the vast Tinderet Forest, is without question one of the more visually stunning places on Earth.

A visit of the grounds by jeep provides the chance to catch glimpses of rare and stunning tropical birds and butterflies. Afternoons on the estate are generally rainy, with flashes of lightening and low rumbles of thunder - the name Tinderet actually means place of lightening.  As  the rain tapers off, evening descends, and with it, the calls of black and white casqued hornbills returning home to the forest can be heard floating above the breathtaking sunset.

Construction of the estate began in 1956 with the purchase and amalgamation of land that had previously been used to farm hemp and eucalyptus.  In those days, before the advent of clonal technology, in  which new tea bushes are grown from cuttings, gardens were cultivated from seed. As such, the gardens of Tinderet were planted with seed variety flown up from Kiganda,Tarzania.  The bushes were of such high quality that in 1961, the year the first leaf was processed in the new factory, Tinderet won 'cups' (awards) at Kenya's Eldoret Agricultural Show. This superiority of production is due in part to the excellent treatment Tinderet affords its workers, a fact that has seen the estate gain endorsements from Fair Trade and the Ethical Tea Partnership, ETP. Like most high quality Kenyan teas, Tinderal produces a highly flavory, full-bodied cup with a deep rich infusion.
