Ellen Premium Tea is proud to celebrate a major milestone after being recognised as Best Tea Brand of the Year 2026 by Starbrand East Africa. This recognition marks an important achievement for the growing Kenyan tea brand and reflects its commitment to bringing quality tea and memorable moments to households across Kenya.

Since its establishment in 2023, Ellen Premium Tea has continued to build its presence in the Kenyan market by offering tea varieties that complement the country's rich tea-drinking culture. The brand is committed to making every cup a moment of comfort, connection and enjoyment.

A Milestone for a Growing Kenyan Tea Brand

The 2026 recognition represents an important chapter in Ellen Premium Tea's journey. From its beginnings to its growing market presence, the brand continues to focus on quality, customer satisfaction and building lasting relationships with consumers and distribution partners.

For many Kenyan households, tea is more than a beverage. It is part of everyday life — enjoyed during breakfast, shared with family, served to visitors and savoured during conversations with friends and colleagues.

Ellen Premium Tea embraces this tradition with a brand promise centred on bringing people together, one cup at a time.

Quality Tea for Every Home

Ellen Premium Tea offers a range of products designed for different tastes and preferences, including:

Ellen Pure Tea – for lovers of classic black tea.

Ellen Ginger Tea (Tangawizi) – for consumers who enjoy the distinctive taste of ginger.

Ellen Masala Tea – for those who appreciate the rich flavour of spiced tea.

Through these varieties, Ellen Premium Tea aims to serve different consumer preferences while remaining connected to Kenya's beloved tea culture.

Celebrating the People Behind the Achievement

This milestone is an opportunity to appreciate the customers, retailers, distributors, business partners and supporters who continue to be part of the Ellen Premium Tea journey.

The leadership of founder and CEO Rosemary Njuguna remains an important part of the brand's story as Ellen Tea continues to pursue growth, strengthen its market presence and create opportunities within Kenya's competitive fast-moving consumer goods sector.

The recognition also provides fresh motivation for the team to keep improving, serving customers and building a brand that Kenyan consumers can proudly welcome into their homes.

Looking Ahead: A Stronger Future for Ellen Premium Tea

As Ellen Premium Tea celebrates this achievement, the brand remains focused on expanding its reach, strengthening distribution and making its products accessible to more consumers.
