Must do! - Dunkin, the tour guide, is an amazing storyteller. He explained the history and science of coffee, its different types, and the entire process from cultivation to enjoying a delicious cup. The farm, located on the outskirts of Nairobi, is situated in a quiet and serene place, allowing visitors to witness each step of coffee production

A Pure Treat. - We had an excellent time at the tea farm. Fiona and Sarah were incredibly warm, welcoming hosts. Made us feel right at home. The gardens, forest and farm were such an unexpected bonus. The meal served was the best meal we had during our 10 day Kenya visit. Highly recommend.

The Tea Farm Tour you NEED in your life! - Obed picked us up promptly for our Tea Farm Tour. He was pleasant and provided a wealth of knowledge on the ride up to the farm. One of my friends had been avidly practicing Swahili and he entertained her questions while teaching her new phrases. Upon arrival at the tea farm estate we were greeted by Fiona who was a very kind and sweet lady. Her family is 5th generation British tea farmers and she was born and raised in Kenya. She explained in grave detail what the harvesting process was like, took us to the field and let us know how they get the tea from picking stage to the processing factory. After that, we broke for tea tasting and then Julius gave us a tour of the forrest on the estate. It was filled with medicinal trees, plants, and herbs. He was very patient, knowledgeable and taught us so much about what the Kenyan ecosystem has to offer! Following this we had a delicious 4 course dinner made by the in house chef of Kenya delights and were transported back by Obed. We loved it! The program was great and we enjoyed how it flowed. Please do not miss out on this incredible experience!

Leisurely Tea Time and Relaxing Walks - The tea farm was a beautiful place to spend the day. I enjoyed the tour and education on how tea is made, as well as the history of tea in Kenya. They also had a nice garden to walk around, a small forest walk, and great food. It was also cool to see the home and how much was preserved from what Fiona's grandfather built. After the tour and food, we were welcome to hang out in the gardens and on the lawn, very big leisure vibes, which I love. Even if you aren't a big tea drinker this is a great trip. Alex was an amazing guide and driver, and great company for the drive, ask for Alex whenever you book!

Historical and educational in an idyllic setting - This owner of this tea farm does a wonderful job of explaining how tea is grown and processed. It was very educational! We sat in her living room as she explained things.The actual tea farm is quite small (2 acres) and doesn’t give the feeling of a large tea plantation . The walk through the natural forest was nice but the guide wasn’t very informative. The food was excellent and everything was well appointed. One could imagine tea time in the early 20s. Highly recommend

Wonderful - We loved visiting the tea farm. It was so beautiful and peaceful. It was interesting to learn all about growing and processing tea. Then we took a walk in the forest followed by an incredible lunch outside surrounded by the flower gardens. Our driver Tim was great and gave us lots of information. The area we drove through were very enlightening.

Beautiful tea farm - Me and my boyfriend went to Kiambethu Tea Farm in September. We were picked up from a private residence and driven to the tea farm. Our driver was around an hour early but otherwise he was great. He told us many things about Kenya on the way and was a very nice driver. The views were beautiful, the food was great and overall the experience was great. It's a great activity for tea lovers.
