This is Our Story
Established in 2002, Nduti Tea Factory is a farmer-owned company nestled at the foot of the Aberdare ranges in Gituru, Murang’a County, Kenya. We are proud members of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) and serve thousands of smallholder farmers who are the lifeblood of our operations.
Located 2,037 meters above sea level, our factory benefits from rich, well-drained volcanic soils and a reliable rainfall pattern — the perfect terroir for producing world-class tea. We specialize in premium black CTC teas, processed with precision and care using both traditional methods and modern technology to bring out bold flavors, rich aroma, and brilliant color in every cup.

From Leaf to Cup
Individual farmers pluck green leaf and deliver it to designated buying centers. At each center, a factory-appointed clerk inspects the quality of the leaf. Only the high-quality leaf is accepted, loaded into ventilated leaf carriers, and transported to the factory for processing.
Tea destined for the Mombasa Auction is transported by rented trucks. Upon arrival, it is received by KTDA personnel and stored in KTDA-managed warehouses.
KTDA’s Marketing Department assigns the tea to an appointed broker, who sends samples and catalogues to potential buyers. At the auction, tea is sold to the highest bidder.
For direct overseas sales, tea is shipped directly to international buyers without going through the auction.
Packed retail products are distributed through Nduti’s Factory Door but are also delivered to interested retailers locally and internationally. Apart from Nduti’s branded teas, we also pack for other interested brands and retailers who would like to pack their teas at source.
