Experience Akili original African tea and discover what tea lovers around the globe know—Akili tea blend is the finest in the world!

Akili has been importing select loose black tea from Kenya since 1996.  Akili was founded by Freeman Waynewood, and Lucas Wanga. The colleagues who have roots in Kenya, East Africa, discovered many years ago that some of the best tea in the world is grown in the Highlands of Eastern Africa. They also realized the health benefits of African natural loose tea. The partners wanted to share this exotic tea and their love of the African culture with the rest of the world. As a result, Akili Tea Ltd. was formed with the vision of delivering a fine quality, natural, specialty tea blend that captures the essence of Authentic Africa.

Akili tea is bought directly from tea cooperatives in Eastern Africa at fair market price, shipped to the American market, and distributed by the Akili Corporation. The tea leaves are hand picked by local villagers and processed by the local tea cooperatives. The tea leaves chosen for Akili tea are specially blended from the most carefully selected leaves of the tea plant, the camellia senensis bush. The leaves are then slowly dried, deepening and perfecting a robust, full-bodied flavor. The result is a natural and exotic tea with an exceptionally smooth taste.

We hope you will enjoy Akili tea often. Treat yourself to a cup of Akili tea today and journey into the rich, relaxing taste of Authentic Africa.
