Terroir & Climate
At 2,010 metres, Mabroukie operates at an elevation that typically places estates in Kenya's high-grown category, where cooler temperatures and diurnal fluctuations tend to slow leaf development. Kericho's position near the equator generally ensures consistent daylight hours year-round, while its altitude moderates what would otherwise be tropical heat, creating conditions that many estates in the region find conducive to year-round cropping with periodic peaks during the main rains.
The interplay of equatorial latitude and high elevation often results in a growing environment where moisture, temperature, and sunlight remain relatively stable across seasons. Estates at this altitude in the Kenyan highlands typically experience misty mornings and afternoon cloud cover, factors that are generally associated with slower, more even vegetative growth and the accumulation of certain biochemical compounds in the leaf.
Tea Produced
Mabroukie produces black tea. Kericho-grown blacks from estates at this elevation typically yield brisk, full-bodied infusions with pronounced colour and a characteristic astringency that blenders often seek for strength and intensity. Teas from this altitude band in Kenya are generally recognised for their coppery liquor and the kind of robust, malty profile that performs well in blended breakfast formats, though individual factory processing and plucking standards will shape the final cup.
