For over 30 years, We have brought flair, flavour, and fun to every cup. From the humble beginnings of a salt mixer and a dream, Melvins pioneered Kenya’s first naturally flavoured teas, transforming a daily routine into a moment of joy.
Founded in 1994 by visionary entrepreneur Flora Mutahi, Melvins began by reimagining ordinary salt into an easy-to-use, free-flowing kitchen staple. But it was a ginger tea blend, Tangawizi Tingle, that ignited a revolution. From the first sip, we began to rewrite the tea narrative in Kenya.
As Kenya’s leading flavoured tea brand, we source our tea from the country’s finest farms and brew every blend with integrity and innovation, right here at home. Our teas now sit proudly on shelves across East Africa, Europe, and beyond.
We are not just a brand. We are a Movement. A celebration of bold beginnings, bold blends, and bold dreams.
We do not use any additives or preservatives.
We flavor our teas only with 100% natural ingredients.
This guarantees that our product retains its natural freshness.
Our teas are promptly packed in pouches ensuring it reaches the customers’ factory fresh.
