KENYA · GUIDE 0185 · EDITION 4.2
Iced tea production in Kenya
Produce iced tea through a validated recipe and handling process.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional office collection: twenty 300 ml iced-tea cups with individual sweetness choices recorded before preparation. Tea, water and sugar quantities in the costing are invented trial allocations, not a recipe or storage claim. The trained operator must establish actual yield and safe handling. Bottled shelf-stable retail and delivery are outside this pilot.
Who is the first customer?
Cafes, offices and direct buyers.
Test the offer
Test one flavour and portion with a documented preparation and cooling process.
