Lipton Teas and Infusions

Lipton Teas and Infusions is the world’s leading tea and herbal infusions company. It serves over 250 million consumers daily across nearly every country. In Kenya, the company operates plantations and factories in Kericho, Bomet, and Limuru counties. These estates supply high-quality tea for local and global markets. The flagship Lipton Yellow Label Black Tea is made entirely from Kenyan tea leaves. The company also produces green, herbal, and ready-to-drink iced teas.

Lipton Teas and Infusions partners with smallholder farmers. It provides training, technical support, and guaranteed market access. As a result, farmers improve yields, adopt sustainable practices, and earn stable incomes. Additionally, the company dedicates 15% of shares to local communities and created a Community Welfare Trust with one billion Kenyan shillings to support local development.

The company invests in innovation and skills through the Lipton Tea Innovation & Technology Academy, in partnership with the Government of Kenya and the University of Kabianga. This Academy teaches farmers and staff from farm management basics to advanced research. Consequently, climate-resilient tea production and global best practices in quality are strengthened.

Sustainability drives all Lipton operations. The company promotes environmental stewardship, social equity, and community welfare. Moreover, it ensures ethical sourcing, traceability, and responsible farming. By combining premium tea production with community empowerment, Lipton Teas and Infusions strengthens Kenya’s tea sector while supporting economic growth and global quality standards.
