Ajiri Tea
The Kenyan black tea is excellent, not bitter but very flavorful. And I know I am giving to a good cause and supporting hard-working women in Kenya. Couldn't be better!
Fabulous!
It’s just really good tea and coffee, y’all. It’s strong and delicious. And if that wasn’t enough, the packaging is literal art, the bags are tied with handmade strings, and you’re supporting incredible work. Highly recommend!!!!
Just the absolute best :)
I LOVE all Ajiri teas, but the Chamomile has become my favorite. I'll forever love the piece of art that comes in each box...it makes me feel connected to the makers in a way, which is beautiful. I keep them all!
Just excellent tea
I have tried five of Ajiri's offerings, and they are all splendid. The Nairobi Chai might be my favorite, but at this point, I cannot do without the Mango and the Ginger varieties. I love the little gifts in each box, too, but it's the quality of the product (and the good cause, of course) that keeps me coming back.
Awesome! I love everything about this tea, from the flavor to the packaging, and their mission. The gift set includes a handy lil spoon and is a great value especially compared to buying individual boxes in the store. Shipping was secure and thoughtfully done.
Good Friends
I hadn't purchased Ajiri tea for too long. Now I have and they feel like old and good friends. This rooibos is my favorite with subtle fruity notes
