- Limuru Tea Plc is an agricultural enterprise engaged in the commercial cultivation, harvesting, and processing of green leaf tea for the production of premium black tea. Founded in 1924 and headquartered in Limuru, Kiambu County, Kenya, the company owns and manages approximately 282 hectares of tea estates situated in the central Kenyan highlands. Limuru Tea Plc organizes its primary business operations into distinct agricultural and processing streams, offering a portfolio that includes: fresh green leaf tea cultivated and hand-plucked across its estate blocks; manufactured bulk black Cut, Tear, and Curl (CTC) tea grades supplied to commercial blenders, packers, and international beverage brands; agricultural plantation management and agronomic support services; and sustainable forestry resources, including managed timber stands utilized for estate conservation and operational buffering. The company delivers its harvested green leaf to the neighboring Mabroukie Tea Factory for processing and distributes its finished black tea through the Mombasa Tea Auction as well as direct private export channels serving markets across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia. In recent major corporate developments, the company experienced a significant ownership transition following the 2024 agreement by Lipton Teas and Infusions to divest its East African plantation assets, including its 52% majority stake in Limuru Tea Plc, to Browns Investments PLC, a multinational agricultural and investment conglomerate based in Sri Lanka. Under this strategic acquisition and restructuring, Limuru Tea Plc is aligning its operational framework with Browns Investments' global agribusiness network, pursuing long-term capital investments in estate yield optimization, factory modernization, value-addition processing, and collaborative community equity participation initiatives across the Kenyan tea industry.
