Brisk and bright in flavor, the majority of African black teas are typically processed using a unique method called Crush-Tear-Curl. Upton Tea Imports has been able to source high quality whole-leaf teas. Add a splash of milk to enhance the naturally rich flavor. Choose premium black teas from Kenya and Rwanda, in both conventional and organic offerings.
