The first consignment of Kenyan tea is expected to be shipped to China by the end of this month. This follows the government’s launch of the China-Kenya Tea Trade Centre in Fujian Province of China to facilitate distribution of Kenya tea to the Asian country in May this year. According to the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK), it is expected that by the end of the year, one million kilograms of Orthodox teas under the arrangement will have been shipped to the Asian giant. Within the same period, Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Benny Tea of China on technology transfer and marketing.
