Jamba began with a frustration. Tea and coffee passed through so many hands on the way to the cup that nobody could say where it came from.
We grew up on Kenyan tea, and the versions on grocery shelves here never tasted the same. So we started bringing the real thing over ourselves, buying direct from tea factories in Kenya’s highlands, including Buret, Makomboki and Chembago, and importing it to the US.
We run every part of it ourselves: choosing each lot, arranging the shipping from Kenya, packing orders and setting up our table at festivals, where plenty of people taste Jamba from a paper cup before they ever visit this site.
We stay small on purpose. Each lot is limited, and every bag can be traced to the factory it came from.
