Here is a list of all licensed tea manufacturers in Kenya. The Tea Board of Kenya is the regulatory body mandated to develop, promote and regulate the tea industry.
Tea manufacturers/factories convert green tea leaves into tea or other tea products. This process includes packaging, labelling, and distributing tea and tea products for sale. Tea manufacturers are categorized into four classes: KTDA-managed, large-scale, medium, and speciality.
