The average price of tea at the Mombasa auction rallied to a five-year high last week after rising by the biggest weekly margin this year.

A market report by the East African Tea Traders Association (Eatta) shows the average price jumped to Sh271 from Sh255 in the previous sale, reversing a trend of poor prices witnessed in the previous five sales.
