Tea in Kenya is mostly produced in small farms, less than one acre each. The tea is harvested by individual farmers and then aggregated in regional factories where it is processed. There is a tremendous amount of diversity in Kenya about how the tea is grown...Kenya is currently a global hot-spot of innovation in the tea industry, with a number of new varietals of tea being developed, and experimentation in tea processing is also taking place.
The production of tea in Kenya is also very diverse, producing both bulk tea of relatively low quality, used in blends, up through some of the finest artisan teas, sold in specialty tea stores for high prices. There are tiny farming operations as well as big operations owned by some of the world's largest tea companies. It is hard to generalize about how it is produced.
Some of the recent innovations to come out of Kenya include purple tea, a varietal of tea with a purple-colored leaf, caused by the same purple pigments, anthocyanins, responsible for the color in raspberries and blueberries, and white matcha, a powdered white tea vaguely reminiscent of Japanese matcha, but with its own unique twist.
Yes. And depending on how you make your tea, the process can be called "weltering", "infusion", "decoction" or "maceration".
That is unlikely; since tea is made with boiling water, any bacteria would be killed in the process of making it.

No. Making tea is a physical change.
Using large tea bags for brewing tea can result in a stronger flavor, better infusion of the tea leaves, and a more convenient brewing process. The larger size allows for more space for the tea leaves to expand and release their flavors, resulting in a richer and more robust cup of tea. Additionally, large tea bags are easier to handle and remove from the cup or pot, making the brewing process simpler and more efficient.

This is the process which some use in the preparation of Tea.
When making tea, you pour hot water over the tea for the best results. If you are using loose tea, which is not in a bag, you put the tea into a small strainer for that purpose, making it easy to pull out of the tea. Or, you can pour the tea into your cup through a small strainer that fits on the cup.
