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.

I recently obtained some Kenyan BOP from Upton. It's the most powdery,
disappointing tea I've ever had from them. Tastewise, I find it has a
peculiar edge that bothers me a bit and it will likely be my last
experiment with Kenyan tea. OTOH, all my other experiences with Upton
teas have been extremely favorable.

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.

Not to bad mouth Upton, which, based on the general quality of their teas, I
am often tempted to do, Frieda, who asked about Kenyan tea suppliers is
English, and Nothing but Tea is an English company, making it the vendor of
choice for her, I think; and I got the whole thing out in one sentence,
didin't I?

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.

have green and black kenya tea. I recall it was pretty good too.
