Private label Kenyan tea, packed in Kenya

We blend Kenyan tea to your recipe, pack it under your brand and ship it ready for the shelf. Packing in Kenya also keeps small retail packs out of the new tea export levy.

Updated · Kenya Tea, Nairobi

What we do

  • Blend. We build a blend to your taste from auction lots, then keep it consistent from one production run to the next.
  • Pack. Tea bags, pouches and cartons for retail, or bulk paper sacks, through licensed Kenyan packers.
  • Brand. Name, logo and packaging design, in your customers’ language.
  • Export. Export documents and shipping to your port, FOB Mombasa or CFR/CIF.

Why pack in Kenya

  • No levy on small packs. Kenya’s 0.8% tea export levy, in force since 1 May 2026, does not apply to retail-ready value-added tea in packs under 10 kg.
  • Closer to the source. Packing where the tea is made shortens the time from factory to shelf.
  • One shipment. Finished goods arrive ready for your warehouse.

How it works

  1. Brief. Your market, pack sizes, volumes and a reference tea or taste profile.
  2. Sample blends. We send blends to taste and refine.
  3. Packaging. We design the packs, or use your artwork.
  4. Production. Your tea is blended and packed in Kenya.
  5. Shipping. We prepare the export documents and ship.

What to send us

Your target market, pack formats and sizes, expected monthly volume, a reference tea if you have one, and any brand assets. Minimum quantities depend on the pack format, so ask us for yours.
