The Pure Kenya Tea line represents the brand’s classic black tea offering: single-origin Kenyan leaves, unblended, capturing the true character of Kenyan highland tea. Over the years, Kericho Gold has diversified into eight ranges (black, green, herbal, cold brew, fruity blends) but the Pure Kenya remains a flagship staple.
