The average price per kilogramme rose to Sh179 from Sh178 in the previous auction.
The East Africa Tea Traders Association (EATTA) said volumes offered for sale declined by 284,551 kilogrammes.
Tea prices at the Mombasa auction edged up marginally this week halting the sharp falls seen in the last seven weeks, but remained near a decade-low as demand continues to falter.
