Gatura Purple Tea Farm

Gatura Purple Tea Farm is a unique agro-tourism destination where visitors can discover one of Kenya’s most innovative crops — purple tea. Unlike traditional black and green teas, purple tea is rich in antioxidants and has a distinctive flavor, making it a fascinating and healthy addition to Kenya’s tea heritage.

A guided tour of Gatura Purple Tea Farm takes you through lush plantations in the scenic Kenya highlands, where cool temperatures and fertile soils create ideal conditions for tea cultivation. Guests learn about the history of purple tea, the sustainable farming methods used at Gatura, and the careful process of harvesting and production.

The highlight of the visit is the tea-tasting session, where visitors can sample freshly brewed purple tea along with other varieties while overlooking the rolling hills. It’s an interactive experience that blends education, culture, and relaxation.

Gatura Purple Tea Farm is a convenient Nairobi day trip and pairs perfectly with other nearby attractions such as Fairview Coffee Farm, Brown’s Cheese Factory, or the Aberdare highlands.
