The Kenya Tea Project

LBC Tea Marketing is the commercial arm of LBC Lifeline Resource Charity dedicated to marketing of tea and other commodities from Kenya and promoting, supporting and inspiring development of enterprise in Kenya and the UK. We work with cooperative factories representing small-holder rural tea farmers and small businesses and tea packers in Kenya producing a wide range of organic health-promoting herbal teas. We promote and inspire enterprise by supporting a network of individual tea traders in the UK. These initiatives enable the charity to contribute towards improvement of incomes, welfare and securing of jobs. We market Kenya Tea in the UK and EU. We offer a range of branded Kenya Teas by the top farmers' blending and packing company in Kenya (KETEPA). All branded teas are packed to highest standards under International ISO 9000 Standard. Please contact us to obtain our price list and place an order for branded black teas (Tea bags & loose-leaf tea), fruit and herbal teas and Green tea. We also supply wholesale tea of various grades for blending and packing by tea sellers. The teas include those manufactured under the traditional orthodox method for green, black and purple teas. Orders are shipped directly from Kenya to meet customer specifications. Small orders are fulfilled from our UK stocks. Please let us know your requirements. The social impacts of the project are across borders – supporting farmers and small tea producers and packers in Kenya to improve marketing of their products to improve incomes, employment and welfare. We also support a network of tea traders and retailers in the UK to access good quality teas for sale to UK consumers. Successful small businesses will impact not just the lives of the business owners but those of their families, neighbours and entire communities. Along with its main socio-economic aims, project also illustrates the story of the trustees - the tea project is partly our story – local Kenyan men and women living in the UK going back to the community they were raised in Kenya and initiating a project that improves incomes and the welfare people. The project takes us back to our ancestral roots, sourcing the tea from the local tea factories where our families, relatives and wider community members send their teas for processing and marketing.
