Hello, I come from England, a country where we love tea. We can get a
variety of teas from around the world as well as herbel and fruit teas. However recently I've been unable to get one of my favourite stonger flavoured teas, Kenyan. Twinings no longer seem to sell it in bags or loose tea leaves. Some people say that Assam tastes the same, I disagree. It's nice but don't like it as much as Kenyan tea. Does anyone know any brands that sell the Kenyan range? |

Upton's has several different Kenyan teas, and also a Malawi BOP that is quite similar to the Kenyan types. I can't believe that you'd have to order the stuff from here in the US, though. Have you tried Harrod's? I have never seen a Twining's Kenyan tea here in the US. It does seem like most of the more interesting Twining's products never make it to these shores. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Hi Frieda, Agreed. They are two different animals, Assam and Kenyan. Both are fully oxidized, but that's where it ends. I like Kenyan also, although I have to admit that the more physically beautiful leaf is still produced in Assam, perhaps because they've been at it longer -- I think. (I'm speaking of Assam at it's best, not at it's typical.) Nothing but Tea. See Lew's previous post for the URL. Last time I looked they had three different versions for sale. Michael |

OTOH, all my other experiences with Upton >teas have been extremely favorable. The ones I have tried have all been pretty much like that. No actual nose to them. No fruitiness and no floweriness, but a very deep and robust flavour. I could see somebody liking it a lot as part of a blend with something lighter and more floral or fruity. I could also see it as a good drink early in the morning. Very thick. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
