Lovely and Relaxing Day - Our driver was Paul. He picked us up right on time. The tea farm was beautiful and tranquil. We really enjoyed our visit there. The grounds are beautifully manicured with abundant fresh flowers. We learned all about tea planting, growing, harvesting and drying. Then we had a very beautiful lunch made with farm fresh ingredients.

Beautiful and Educational Experience - This tea farm tour just outside Nairobi was an absolute delight! I loved learning about the entire tea-making process — from picking the leaves to tasting the final brew. The hosts were warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The walk through the indigenous forest was amazing, filled with herbal plants, local trees, and stories about their traditional uses. It felt like stepping into a living classroom surrounded by nature. The scenery was breathtaking, the pace relaxed, and the tea tasting and lunch were a perfect blend. A wonderful mix of education, nature, and tranquility — I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi!

Absolutely Loved This Tour - I had been choosing between this tour and another activity in a national park and I was so glad I chose this. I realized I knew nothing about tea and so I learned so much and really enjoyed myself. I felt like the tour was very well thought out and organized. The grounds were beautiful and we received a lecture in the tea fields, along with seeing the different stages of the leaf and trying it of course. They had a tour around the land and showed us the different trees and landscape and the lunch was fantastic. Also I cannot forget to mention our driver Tim, he was awesome! He had so much knowledge on Kenya and made the drive there and back so enjoyable and answering all of my questions. I learned that Tim also does city tours and I’m so mad at myself for not inquiring about taking a tour with him because he was just so informative. Really loved our time!

Beautiful day trip outside of Nairobi! - Really interesting history, beautiful location especially the gardens at the house, and the tea fields themselves. Great lunch with very fresh vegetables grown in their garden and delicious homemade ice cream. Highly recommend!

Don’t be ripped off by TripAdvisor! - Moses, our driver, was outstanding! So knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the Tea Farm and lunch but are shocked that TripAdvisor charges more than double the actual cost. You would be much better off to buy tickets directly from the Tea Farm’s website ($30 U.S. per person) and take an Uber out to the farm.

Solid tour, could be cheaper. - The tea tour was great and very informative. The three coarse meal was well worth as well as the trading medicine tour. The owner farm has been in the family for over 100 years. The main tour guide, Julius, has been working at the farm for over 40 years. You can book through this site for trip and tour inclusive or you can find your own transportation and pay for tour separately to save cost.
