Mount Kenya is a beacon for climbers and walkers, dominating the landscape all around it. Within the mountain’s shadow are these beautiful tea gardens, arranged like the immaculate topiary of a British stately home. At an altitude of around 2,000m, a combination of the quality of soil, temperature and availability of water have long suited the cultivation of tea - although climate change is threatening that.
