Kenya: Leader in Black Tea Production

Kenya: Leader in Black Tea Production

Highland-tea-farmKenya is one of Africa’s oldest tea-producing countries. The earliest reference to tea growing dates back a hundred years to 1903. It is believed that a British settler living in Kenya’s western highlands imported the first Camellia Sinensis  seedlings from India and planted them on a two-acre farm on an experimental basis. By 1928, Kenya’s teas were being sold at the London Tea Auction and by the 1950s, Kenya had become a significant player in the international tea market. A hundred years later, Kenya’s annual tea production of approximately 295,000 tons makes her the world’s fourth-largest producer of tea after India, China, and SriLanka, and contributes up to 28% of Kenya’s export earnings.

Kenya MapKenya, on the Eastern coast of Africa, is one of the world’s biggest grower of black tea. Kenya being so close to the equator enjoys tea production all year round. The country is endowed with tropical, volcanic red soil and well-distributed rainfall and the main feature that makes It has more than 110,000 hectares of land devoted to tea. In Kenya, tea is grown in the highland areas with adequate rainfall and low temperatures. The main tea-growing area is in the Kenyan Highlands, west of the Rift Valley, at altitudes between 5,000 and 9,000 feet.

Kenyan tea is a favorite for many commercial blenders because it tends to have more infusion-giving surfaces and thus brews a stronger tea per unit weight of leaf than most other black teas. It is not uncommon to find blenders mixing high-quality Kenyan tea with teas of lower standards, to achieve an acceptable strength and flavor.

All of Kenya’s teas sold through the Mombasa Auction are CTC (“cut, tear, curl”) teas, one of two main methods of processing black tea. The alternative method, recently introduced by KTDA, is the traditional “orthodox” method. The CTC process produces smaller leaf particles that give a stronger, quicker brew, making them ideal for use in tea bags. The orthodox method produces larger particles of leaf and is used for most high quality loose-leaf teas.

Blendtec Total Blender Review — The BEST blender. No more ice chunks in your smoothies

Blendtec Total Blender Review — The BEST blender. No more ice chunks in your smoothies

Are you tired of that old junk blender not being able to make a smoothie or a good frozen drink without ice chunks in it?

So was I… It really is a pain when you entertain a lot and have guests over and can’t even make a decent margarita. My previous blender was a 0+ blender and I figured for that price point it should do a good job with most anything I needed. Man was I wrong. It could handle simple tasks and soft fruits and such, but if you added hard fruit or vegetables or any ice at all it just could not handle it. After much frustration, I searched the internet looking for a good “bar blender” or “margarita maker”.

Well, I’m going to let you in on something. A margarita maker is a marketing gimmick. It can shave ice halfway decent but can’t mix very good at all. What I found is you just need a good commercial quality blender and I’ve found the one.

The Blendtec Total Blender is the most awesome blender I have ever seen. It has a 3 horsepower motor. Yeah, that’s right a blender with a motor bigger than the one on that weedeater you have. It can blend anything. It has no problem if you fill it to the top with ice, fruit, vegetables or anything else you like. It turns ice into snow, can make hot soups, yes you read that right… hot soups. It can make ice-cream, fresh peanut butter, fresh salsa, smoothies, margaritas and daiquiris, or just about anything else you can imagine. It has pre-programmed settings for all of these things. If you want to make a frozen drink for example just add your ingredients and ice and press the ice crush button and the machine will begin and automatically stop when it’s done. It’s simply amazing.

This blender really does make blending a spectator sport. Your friends will be stunned when they see this thing in action. I’ve made frozen margaritas that have 32oz of ice and it handles it no problem. You simply cannot do that with a normal blender.

If you entertain like I do, or you’re just tried of ice chunks in your smoothies, you’ve got to have one of these. This thing was even featured on the Modern Marvels show on the History Channel because of its power. That video is available in the link below.

Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender Review

Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender Review

The Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender is a great mid-priced blender.  It is what is known as a bar blender.  A bar blender is a commercial quality blender that caters specifically to making frozen drinks without chunks of ice leftover as well as making fresh fruit smoothies without getting stuck halfway through or burning up the motor after a few drinks.   This blender possesses four characteristics that make it an excellent choice.

1.) Power…  The Oster Professional Series Blender has ½ horsepower.  It’s one of the few blenders powerful enough to be measured in horsepower and not watts.  It should have no trouble making frozen drinks and smoothies without bogging down or damaging the motor.  This blender features the most powerful Oster motor available.

2.) Design… A lot of blenders have an issue with ingredients getting stuck and you have to open them up, take a spoon or some other object and shove the ingredients down towards the blades.  This blender doesn’t have that issue either thanks to its superior and patented beehive design which forces ingredients down into the blades using centrifugal force.

3.) Quality… It has a die cast base with a fingerprint resistant finish.  The Oster Professional Series Blender will outlast other blender because it also features an all metal drive system compared to the plastic components used by less reliable blenders.

4.) Warranty… 1-Year? No, not with this blender; try a three year warranty.  I told you it was built to last.  The warranty proves that.  Most blenders in this price range and quite a few at even higher price points only come with a one year warranty while the Oster Professional Series Blender comes with a 3-year warranty from Oster.

There are a few cons with this blender like most any other blender on the market.  This particular blender is rather noisy.  It’s quite a bit louder than most blenders.  It also lacks speed controls.  It has a simple flip switch.  You have pulse mode, which stays on as long as you hold your finger there, and you have high which is wide open.   Pulse mode is wide open as well but at least pulse gives you slightly more control.
