5.00Visiting a tea plantation in Kenya is a must but don’t go visiting just any! Riara tea farm is one of the first tea plantations owned by Kenyans. His family history is completely intertwined with the history of Kenya. If you like to consume and travel differently, this tour will delight you. Eric drove us there and allowed us to meet this amazing family , warm and authentic. The whole process is explained in detail up to the tasting of the different teas. Of course the landscapes are also sublime. The icing on the cake: you can have lunch on site and enjoy tasty and organic local cuisine.
