Purple Tea: A Rare Leaf with Powerful Benefits

​

Full Leaf • Grown at High Elevation • Rich in Antioxidants

​

Purple tea is one of the most exciting and rare innovations in the tea world. Like black, green, oolong, and white teas, it comes from the Camellia sinensis plant—but what sets it apart is its naturally vibrant purple hue and extraordinary health properties. This striking color is largely due to anthocyanins, the same powerful antioxidants found in blueberries, acai, and pomegranates.

​

Cultivated primarily in the rich volcanic soils of Kenya, purple tea thrives at high altitudes where strong sun exposure and cooler nights encourage the development of these unique compounds. While its exact color origin is still debated—partially linked to a rare mutation in the tea plant—its benefits are well documented.
