Kiambethu Farm, Tigoni, Kenya
This Saturday, we travelled up into tea country to visit one of our favourite parts of Kenya, where Fiona and Marcus Mitchell run one of the first commercial tea estates in East Africa. Over four generations of their family have been apart of one of Kenya's largest industries. According to Fiona, "Kiambethu" is a Kikuyu word for "traditional dancing grounds". For ages, this land has been a place of celebration and bounty. We had the joy of visiting today with our friends Kevin and Atalie, and Erica's mum, who is staying with us.
