Ugandan Tea — Export Supply

Uganda grows CTC black tea in the western highlands around Fort Portal, Bushenyi and Kabale, and in central districts near Mukono. Ugandan teas are bright and brisk and are mostly sold through the Mombasa Tea Auction, making them easy to combine with Kenyan tea in one shipment.
