Terroir & Climate

At 2,010 metres above sea level, Kalyet Tea Factory sits within the high-altitude band that characterises much of Kericho's tea landscape. Estates at this elevation in equatorial Kenya typically experience cooler temperatures and a pronounced diurnal range, conditions that tend to slow vegetative growth and encourage the accumulation of flavour compounds in the leaf. The proximity to the equator means that daylight hours remain relatively constant year-round, generally supporting a steady if moderated flush cycle.

Kericho's climate is shaped by its position on the western flank of the Rift Valley, where rainfall is typically distributed across two main seasons. High-altitude estates in this region often benefit from well-drained volcanic soils and consistent moisture, factors that tend to support even canopy development and leaf quality. The cooler nights common at elevations above 2,000 metres are generally associated with slower oxidation kinetics during processing, influencing both the character and consistency of the finished black tea.

Tea Produced

Kalyet Tea Factory produces black tea. Kericho teas from elevations around 2,000 metres are typically known for bright, brisk liquors with good body and a clean astringency. The cooler growing conditions at this altitude tend to favour the development of aromatic complexity and a vivid copper colour in the cup. Estates in this area often yield teas that perform well in blends requiring structure and brightness, though cup character will vary with clone selection, processing method, and seasonal conditions.
