Kenya Tea Packers (KETEPA)

Kenya Tea Packers (KETEPA) is Kenya’s leading tea blending and packaging company, delivering premium quality tea locally and internationally. Established in 1978, KETEPA has grown from a small enterprise into a legacy brand. The company produces over 50 tea variants, including black, green, white, purple, flavoured, orthodox, and herbal teas. Its leaves are sourced from the pristine Kenyan highlands, over 7,000 feet above sea level, and processed in KTDA-owned and KTGA-member factories to ensure consistent quality and taste.

As a key arm of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), KETEPA works with more than 650,000 smallholder tea farmers. These farmers produce over 60% of Kenya’s tea. The company promotes sustainable farming and community development, focusing on education, health, livelihoods, and environmental responsibility. By linking farmers, communities, and consumers, KETEPA ensures its tea is both high-quality and socially responsible.

KETEPA has also expanded into safe hydration through Maisha Purified Drinking Water. Its products reach over 15 countries, including the USA, UK, Japan, Australia, and many African nations. By sharing authentic Kenyan tea globally, KETEPA strengthens Kenya’s reputation for agricultural excellence.

With decades of experience, a commitment to quality, and continuous innovation in processing and packaging, KETEPA remains a trusted brand. Its dedication to farmers, communities, and consumers makes it a symbol of Kenyan agricultural expertise and global recognition.
