Tea is grown as a cash crop and its profitability depends on whether it has the right quality to the consumers. Good quality tea is that with a high outturn at minimum cost to the producer, good taste to the consumer and can sell highly. For a researcher it is hard to define tea quality since there are chemical parameters related to the taste of good tea. This paper looks at quite a number of agronomic practices which affect tea quality in general. It also looks at genetic make-up and chemical compositions of quality black tea. Results of tests on different clones grown in Kenya are given in tabular forms
