Hi everyone

I am new to this so its all trial and error.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any Tea Packers in Cameroon, Ghana, Toga, etc etc.
The company I work for, supplies Teabag Filter Paper & Coffee Filter Paper
and we are looking to Branch out into West Africa.
Your help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Candice

Dear group,

Does anyone know anything about west African teas? I was speaking with
a Hausa friend from Ghana and he mentioned that his father receives
deliveries of a local "tea" from the neighborhood teamonger. This is
apparently a handpicked something that comes in long, thin leaves. He
mentioned that it is a strong competitor for Lipton among the locals
because of its freshness. Maybe it's like mate or something. Any ideas?

My local tea shop has 4 varieties of black tea from Africa, 2 from
west Africa (Kenya and Tanzania), one from east Africa (Cameroon), and
one from the Isle of Mauritius off the western coast.

They're all pretty good teas, but the tea from Mauritius is my
favorite of the bunch. It's grown in the same fields as vanilla, so it
has a naturally subtle vanilla flavor.

There's also Rooibos, as WadeM mentioned.

No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now,
remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them.
