The tea plants that produce this tea grow at more than 6,000 feet above sea level in the Kenyan Highlands. The leaves take on lovely flavors in the cool air and rocky soil. Unlike most teas in Africa, Milima is produced using the Orthodox method, so the leaves look like most of our other teas. Its brew is light-bodied and tends toward citrus. Milima has led the revolution in Africa by making tea in the Orthodox method. This tea led the way to Africa's emergence as a quality supplier. We now offer a few African teas, unlike some years ago.
