This year marks a monumental milestone for Kenya’s tea industry—100 years of tea cultivation, innovation, and excellence. From the first experimental bushes planted in Limuru in the early 1900s to becoming the world’s leading exporter of black tea by volume, Kenya’s tea story is one of resilience, passion, and a commitment to quality. At Melvins, we are proud to have been part of this remarkable journey, revolutionizing how Kenyans—and the world—experience tea. The Roots of Kenya’s Tea Heritage The Kenyan tea story began with settlers experimenting with tea planting to gauge the crop’s viability in Kenya’s rich volcanic soils. The success of these trials led to the establishment of Kenya’s first commercial tea estate by Brooke Bond Tea Company in Kericho in 1924. With fertile soils, a cool climate, and high altitudes, Kenya’s highlands became the perfect environment for cultivating premium-quality tea. Following Kenya’s independence in 1963, the government recognized tea’s potential to empower local communities. The establishment of the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) in 1964 marked a significant shift. Smallholder farmers entered the scene, and Kenya soon climbed the ranks to become one of the world’s largest tea producers. By the 1970s, Kenyan tea had earned a reputation for unparalleled quality, finding its way into teacups across the UK, Egypt, Pakistan, and beyond. Over the years, the liberalization of the tea sector and the privatization of KTDA further bolstered Kenya’s tea industry, setting the stage for its global dominance. Melvins: A Legacy of Flavor and Innovation As Kenya’s tea industry evolved, Melvin Marsh International emerged as a game-changer. Founded in 1995 by the trailblazing Flora Mutahi, Melvins set out to revolutionize tea with bold ideas and innovative products. In a male-dominated industry, Flora’s vision created a brand that celebrates not just tea but also the resilience of women who dared to break barriers. Melvins pioneered Kenya’s first flavored teas, infusing a century-old heritage with vibrant, modern flavors. From our signature ginger and masala teas to unique blends like Vanilla Caramel and Purple Bliss, we’ve redefined what it means to enjoy tea. Each sip of Melvins tea is a celebration of Kenya’s diverse flavors, the creativity of its people, and the hard work of farmers who nurture every leaf. Rooted in Sustainability For us, tea is more than a beverage—it’s a connection to the land and the people who cultivate it. At Melvins, we source our tea responsibly, supporting smallholder farmers who form the backbone of Kenya’s tea industry. Beyond fair compensation, we empower these communities through sustainable practices that ensure a brighter future for generations to come. A Toast to the Next Century As we look ahead, Melvins remains committed to innovation, sustainability, and empowering communities. We’re honored to be part of Kenya’s rich tea legacy and to carry forward the pioneering spirit that has brought us to this moment. Here’s to 100 years of Kenyan tea and to the extraordinary in every sip. Together, let’s continue celebrating the vibrant flavors, the resilient farmers, and the boundless possibilities that make Kenyan tea truly world-class. Cheers to tea, to Kenya, and to Melvins—doing tea differently for the past 28 years and beyond.

Breast Cancer Awareness: Empowering Knowledge, Inspiring Hope October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to educate, support, and inspire. While cancer can seem like a distant reality, it’s important to remember that early detection saves lives, and awareness can make a world of difference, especially for women in their 30s. In Kenya, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting women across all walks of life, including many in middle to low-income communities. For many, the journey starts with uncertainty—a lump discovered or a persistent feeling that something isn’t right. The fear of the unknown can be overwhelming, but knowledge is power. Understanding the importance of regular self-exams and clinical check-ups, particularly for those aged 32 and above, is a crucial step in early detection. Access to affordable healthcare is a challenge for many, but local resources, including free screenings offered by some clinics during this month, can be life-saving. The journey of a cancer patient is not just physical but emotional and mental. It’s a journey of resilience and hope. While the road may be long, the stories of those who have fought and survived are a testament to human strength. We can support our colleagues and loved ones by fostering an environment of care, providing emotional support, and encouraging a culture of regular check-ups. Let this month remind us all of the importance of health, early detection, and the collective power of community. Together, we can spread awareness, support one another, and inspire hope for a cancer-free future.

As the cold season sets in, keeping warm becomes essential. Here are some personal and friendly tips to help you stay cozy, with a little help from our delightful Melvins teas. 1. Layer Up! Start with a good base layer that keeps moisture away from your skin, add a middle layer for insulation, and finish with a weather-resistant outer layer. Don’t forget a cozy scarf, gloves, and a hat to keep the chill at bay. And once you’re all bundled up, nothing complements this warmth better than a cup of Melvins Green Tea. Its gentle, soothing flavor will keep you calm and cozy throughout the day. 2. Keep Your Feet Warm Cold feet can make your whole body feel cold. Invest in thick, insulated socks and warm, comfortable boots. For extra warmth, use heated insoles or a hot water bottle at your feet while relaxing at home. Pair this with a cup of Melvins Ginger Tea, which not only warms your body but also boosts circulation, making sure your feet stay toasty warm. 3. Stay Active Keeping active is a fantastic way to stay warm. A short walk, stretching, or light housework can get your blood circulating and raise your body temperature, keeping your spirits high during chilly days. After your activity, unwind with Melvins Lemon and Honey Tea. It’s refreshing and revitalizing, perfect for post-exercise relaxation. 4. Create a Warm Home Environment Make your home a warm haven by sealing drafts around windows and doors, using thick curtains, and laying down rugs on cold floors. Lighting a fire or using space heaters safely can also add warmth and a cozy atmosphere. While you enjoy this warm haven, sip on Melvins Chai Latte. Its creamy, spiced blend is perfect for enhancing that snug, homey feel. 5.Indulge in Warm Beverages Sipping on a warm beverage is one of the simplest pleasures in the cold season. Melvins teas are perfect for this. Our Masala tea, with its rich blend of spices, warms you from the inside out, providing a comforting and aromatic experience. If you prefer something with a zing, our Tangawizi tea, infused with ginger, is perfect for a refreshing and warming kick. Imagine sitting by the window, wrapped in a soft blanket, with a steaming cup of Melvins Masala tea in your hands. The spices waft up, filling the room with a fragrant aroma that brings comfort and warmth. Or, if you’re on the go, a travel mug filled with our invigorating Tangawizi tea will do just the trick. Staying warm in the cold season doesn’t have to be a challenge. With a few simple adjustments and the comforting embrace of Melvins teas, you can turn the chill into an opportunity for coziness and relaxation. So, layer up, keep active, and always have a warm cup of Melvins tea within reach. Here’s to a warm and wonderful cold season! Stay warm and happy sipping!
