Purple White

Purple White is a rare tea grown on Mt Buddha Lotus in Pu’erh, Yunnan province, it is picked from “Purple Cultivar” tea trees that are known to have unique purple colored buds. The tea buds are usually green in color, yet due to their surprising level of anthocyanidin; naturally occurring plant pigments in foods like blueberry present in the leaf, they have a purple-like tone and a unique taste.

Our Purple White tea is lightly oxidized (15%), and is slowly dried under a roof to draw out the unique floral flavor profile. The dry leaf is a mix of whole and wiry leaves that release a delicate sweet aroma- almost a blueberry-like fragrance. Once steeped, the tea releases a brownish purple liquor that has a refreshing light aroma and delicate white tea taste with a floral finish. The unique Purple White is a beautiful must-have for tea enthusiasts to explore and enjoy.
