Our Royal Highland Kenyan Green originates from the southern slopes of Mount Kenya between the Rundu and Mukengeria rivers and is pesticide-free. This juicy green tea has grassy, white corn, kale, creamed spinach, and macadamia notes. Sweet undertones and a buttery quality are present in this delicious tea. While Royal Highland Kenyan Green has a thick mouth feel, it is also quite refreshing. Be cautious not to over steep this tea because it could become bitter.

I had some last week and more today and it’s a goody as long as you don’t over steep – which Stacy DID mention this in the description. Thanks Stacy! It can get bitter – you’ve been warned LOL

But seriously – this is a decent Kenyan Green. It’s thick, a bit grassy, a little like spinach, with a hint of sweet.

I do think this is a nice offering and think the more who try it will tinker with it and find they appreciate it! It’s dandy!

My first African tea. Tastes rich, vegetal, and maybe a little floral as well perhaps. I’ve been drinking a lot of Japanese green teas lately, so this is a nice change to something a little different. At about 165F for just over two minutes I didn’t find it bitter at all.
