Eldo Tea
Eldo Tea is a Kenyan producer and exporter of specialty tea, herbs and spices, founded in 2013 in Nandi County. Their black, purple, green and white teas are sourced from around 3000 smallholder farmers, supporting their farmers and enabling the economic growth of Nandi County in the Rift Valley, home to Kenyan single origin tea.
In 2018, Eldo Tea engaged in the International Trade Centre’s initiative She Trades, which resulted in access to international markets, product expansion to include herbs and spices, poverty alleviation and gender equality among their communities.
In the future, they aim to increase the number of farmers in their network and acquire a tea processing facility, while developing their international brand, which supplies traceable, single origin, sustainably produced specialty teas.
