Kenya is one of the largest producers of tea in the world, with over 500,000 small-scale farmers involved in its production. These farmers rely on tea as their main source of income, making it a vital part of their livelihoods. However, traditional tea farming practices in Kenya have often been unsustainable, leading to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. This not only harms the environment but also affects the quality of the tea produced.

To address these issues, we have formed partnerships with small-scale tea farmers in Kenya, providing them with training and resources to adopt sustainable farming practices. This includes techniques such as intercropping, which involves planting different crops together to improve soil health and prevent erosion. We also encourage the use of natural fertilizers and pesticides, reducing the harmful chemicals that end up in the tea and the surrounding environment.
