Tea Origin Notes
Tea farming in Tanzania is a significant agricultural activity, with both smallholder farmers and large estates contributing to the nation’s tea production. The Southern Highlands region, particularly Mufindi, Njombe, and Rungwe districts, are key tea-growing areas. While Tanzania is a major tea producer, its average yields are lower than neighboring Kenya, highlighting the need for increased productivity, particularly among smallholders.
