Crafted from Kenya's rare TRFK 306 purple tea cultivar, this tea is gently processed at lower temperatures using a green tea method to help preserve its naturally occurring anthocyanins, particularly malvidin, the same antioxidant compounds that give berries their vibrant color. Steamed to maintain the integrity of the whole leaf, it offers a smooth, vibrant cup that showcases both exceptional craftsmanship and one of tea's most unique cultivars.
 
Emerging research has shown that extracts from Kenyan purple tea may enhance antioxidant activity in the brain. In one animal study, purple tea extract increased brain glutathione (GSH) levels after oxidative stress, suggesting these beneficial compounds may cross the blood-brain barrier. While more human research is needed, these findings highlight the remarkable potential of this rare tea.
