Rwanda has the ideal conditions for growing tea - hot temperatures combined with high humidity and two rainy seasons enabling year round plucking.

The Rukeri Estate was founded almost 50 years ago producing small quantities of orthodox teas.

This tea is handled with extreme care during withering to avoid breaking the naturally long leaves and keeping them whole to ensure the highest quality is maintained. The resultant leaf is mid-brown, long and quite tight.

The aroma is fresh and slightly spicy which is also conveyed in the liqour which has citrus overtones.

Region & Growing Info

Rwanda

Rwanda’s tea production is rising rapidly, with black teas grown in the high-altitude regions around Lake Kivu and the northwest. Rwandan teas are known for their bright, brisk flavour and smooth, clean taste, with subtle floral and fruity notes. The volcanic soil and favourable climate contribute to the distinct quality of these teas.

Rwandan teas, particularly those from the Nyungwe and Gicumbi regions, offer a bright, premium, refreshing taste. The country’s tea industry is focused on producing high-quality, organic teas with minimal environmental impact like our organic, speciality Rwanda Rukeri. As the demand for premium, eco-friendly teas flourish, Rwanda is positioning itself as a key tea player in the global specialty tea market.
