At Kiambethu Tea Farm the day begins on a verandah with a steaming cup and a quick history of how tea shaped this stretch of Limuru farmland. You soon trade the house for a short walk through tea terraces and into a patch of indigenous forest where a local guide names medicinal plants and points out black-and-white colobus monkeys moving in the canopy.
