ABOUT US
A spark in Kenya’s soil grew into a story poured daily around the world. Kenya Tea Packers is the leading tea blending and packaging company in Kenya with over 50 products including black tea, flavoured tea, green tea, purple tea, white tea, orthodox tea and herbal infusions. But behind every pack is a story rooted deeper than just taste.
1978 - The Year Kenya Tasted Itself
Since 1978, we’ve grown from a vision into a legacy; pioneering technology, elevating quality, and exporting the soul of Kenyan tea to local and international tables. Our leaves are handpicked from pristine highlands, 7,000 feet above sea level, and processed with care in KTDA-owned and KTGA-member factories. Only the finest are chosen for our signature blends.
The story so far
As a proud arm of KTDA — the world’s largest smallholder tea network with over 650,000 farmers — Ketepa stands on the strength of a powerful collective producing over 60% of Kenya’s tea.
We’ve since expanded into safe, high-quality hydration with Maisha Purified Drinking Water. But we’re more than tea and water.
Through our KTDA roots, we uplift communities—supporting health, education, livelihoods, and sustainable farming.
