High quality loose green tea, especially packed for traditional brewing.
This is High Grown Kenyan tea from the Nandi Highlands area (Western Kenya).
Kosabei is quite simply an outstanding tea, at once light and profound, gentle and astringent with notes of malt, currant and moist earth – but importantly FREE from Flouride and therefore probably the very best loose leaf tea you can buy.
Extremely high in health boosting antioxidants, this pure tea offers many benefits as a result including;
- Enhancing immune system function and efficacy
- Improving cardiovascular function
- Balancing cholesterol levels in the blood
- Protecting and enhancing brain function
- Removing harmful bacteria from the mouth and throat, helping prevent bad breath
- Boosting the body’s fat burning capability
In addition to the health benefits this is also and extremely high quality tea due to the way it is grown and processed.
Almost 100% of Kenyan tea manufacture is CTC (cut, tear and curl) this involves fairly aggressive rollers that on a commercial scale “mince” the tea produce a uniform product ideally designed for teabags. Large surface area of leaf to water = quicker infusion times !
BUT, this tea is rescued from the CTC machines. So after an initial and very basic leaf breaking process the tea is dried and packed. No further leaf manipulation, no fermentation, no sorting into grades – it is a very unusual tea and complete departure from the mainstream.
It tastes fabulously fresh – nothing is lost, as it it vacuumed on the estate and again at our facility and has not been in contact with the air probably for more than a few hours. Quite unique.
