Ajiri Tea Kenyan Black Tea
Where every sip is a reminder you’re creating jobs and providing education.
user rating
In Swahili, the national language of Kenya, Ajiri means "to employ." This company was established to create a sustainable cycle of community and education: providing employment for women and education for children—they just happened to find an excellent tea within the country's borders. Ajiri Black Tea is produced at the Rainforest Alliance–certified Nyansiongo Tea Factory, which is owned by over 10,000 small-scale farmers. Women in the Kisii district of Kenya handcraft each unique label using dried banana leaves from their farms. They twist dried banana leaves to make the twine that wraps the pouches inside and use strips of recycled magazine paper to make the beads that complete the package.—Nicole Denis
