Bandalel means "new journey" in Kipsigis.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a new chapter in the history of the tea industry by addressing the legacy of historic injustices - starting in Kericho, Kenya.

We aim to do this by growing and making tea with the “free, prior and informed consent” of the local community.

Unlike other brands that are owned by overseas shareholders, bandalel is 100% owned by the local community where it is grown.

How?

Bandalel works closely with local communities based on the principles of "free, prior and informed consent" to establish grow, source and pack teas that have a respect for human rights and regenerative nature as a core value, not as a token after-thought.
