Purple tea has entered the scene as a new, and still rare category of the same camellia sinensis plant that harvests all of your favorite black, green, oolong, and white tea. It is said that the rich volcanic soil where this leaf was first harvested is what gives the plant it's unique purple hue. Although the history of it's color is debated, the long list of health benefits is well agreed upon. Pulling the same anthocyanins (antioxidants) as other blue/purple pigmented  fruits including acai, pomegranates, and blueberries, purple tea boasts a unique resume of powerful compounds that have been attributed to unlocking many health benefits including: Supporting weight loss, promoting heart health, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, boosting cognitive function, cancer prevention, regulating blood sugar, and more.
