Licensed Tea Manufacturers in Kenya – 2025 Guide

The Tea Board of Kenya is the official regulatory body responsible for the development, promotion, and oversight of Kenya’s tea industry. Tea manufacturers, also known as factories, play a crucial role in processing green tea leaves into market-ready products, including packaging, labeling, and distribution.

Tea manufacturers in Kenya are classified into four main categories:

KTDA-Managed Factories – Operated under the Kenya Tea Development Agency.
Large-Scale Manufacturers – Major commercial producers with extensive operations.
Medium-Scale Manufacturers – Smaller but established processing units.
Specialty Tea Producers – Focused on premium varieties like green, purple, white, and oolong teas.
