    I enjoyed this, very nostalgic for me. Both my maternal and paternal grandparents are tea farmers.

    The large tea farms in the Rift Valley use machines to pluck tea leaves, so they are not so careful. The smaller plantations are cautious to be pick the bud and two leaves because they have best quality chemical compounds. They are used to blend and improve quality of large plantation teas. The area looks like Karatina, which comes from the word "quarantine", but Kikuyu tongues couldn't have such a tongue twister. When the British government confiscated land in Nyeri to give to the settlers, Kikuyu cattle that had been confiscated was held there in quarantine, before being given to the army.

    I love tea farm views. Gotta visit Gatura Greens that specialize in purple tea one day (also 2 hrs away but with a waterfall you can swim at) but the biggest unreal looking beautiful tea farms of all I've seen are in Kericho (many more hours away from Nairobi though ) 👍🏾

    There's a wonderful funny book called "no picnic on mount Kenya" about Italian p.o.w.s who had been held at the foot of mount kenya for ages before they realised it was there. That mountain is so capricious!
