What is Purple Tea.?
Purple tea is an entirely new category of tea! Purple tea is produced from the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, which is the same plant from which black, green, oolong, and other types of tea are made. Unlike other types of tea, however, the leaves of this new varietal are purple instead of green. The tea was first discovered growing wild in the Assam regionof India, and is now grown commercially in,Sri Lanka.
Purple leaf tea has a similar flavor profile to oolong, and is lighter than black tea but not quite as vegetal tasting as green tea. It’s also very high in anthocyanins, the beneficial compounds found in blueberries, eggplant, purple grapes and other blue, purple or dark red foods. Purple tea is low in caffeine.
The ‘new Tea’ in town
ou have probably never heard of purple tea before. That would be understandable because it is one of the newer categories of teas to hit the marketplace. Purple tea is a lot different than traditional teas like green tea, black tea, white tea, and yellow tea. It is a cultivar that goes by the technical name of TRFK 306/1..Sri Lanka Technical name.(TRI 2043).
A bit lighter than black tea but darker than green tea, ourCeylonPurple is often described as similar in character and taste to oolong tea. Purple tea has a light, clean body similar to a green tea, without any of the grassy, vegetal flavor that is typical to green teas. OurCeylonPurple is also processed in a way that is similar to many oolongs –partially oxidized, with the leaves gently rolled. Purple tea brews up a light reddish-purple color, and has a floral, delicate flavor.
Purple Tea Benefits
What are the health benefits of Purple Tea?
Most people don’t realize that all teas come from the same type of plant, Camellia Sinensis. The differences have to do with the cultivars and how the tea composition changes throughout the production process.
Each type of tea has unique benefits. You might hear a lot of talk about how green tea is a super healthy tea. Health experts rant and rave about green tea because of its high level of EGCG, a natural anti–inflammatory compound found in tea. It can help reduce inflammation, prevent certain cancers, and chronic diseases, and assist in weight loss, among other special characteristics.
Purple tea is extremely high in antioxidants, containing almost twice as many antioxidants per cup as other types of tea. In particular, purple tea is rich in a type of particularly beneficial antioxidant called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are thought to help protect against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases by reducing free radicals, which can harm and damage cells, resulting in illness and even certain types of cancer. Anthocyanins give certain fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, and eggplants, their rich blue, purple or dark red color. Purple foods have been shown to support cardiovascular health, fight inflammation, improve cognition, and even to help to reverse the effects of UV damage.
According to recent research studies, some evidence suggests that purple tea might be the best tea for preventing and treating cancer. Anyone with uterine cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, or colorectal cancer might want to consider adding purple tea to their health protocol as a natural treatment option. Research also shows evidence that purple tea can help with brain function and weight.
What is the caffeine content?
Purple tea does have a small amount of caffeine content, but not nearly as much as green tea and black tea. If you have caffeine sensitivity, you should brew the purple tea with fewer leaves and then mix the tea in cooler water before consumption. The caffeine effects won’t be as severe.
Purple Tea is low in caffeine, containing less caffeine than green tea but slightly more caffeine than most white teas. This is due to several reasons, including.
Leaf size–Our purple tea is made from whole tea leaves that are gently curled and shaped. Full–leaf loose leaf teas tend to contain less caffeine than broken leaf teas.
Water temperature–Purple tea should be infused with water that is steaming, not boiling. Lower water temperatures result in a lower caffeine level in a brewed cup of tea.
Steep time–We recommend steeping purple tea for about three minutes. The shorter the steep time, the less caffeine will be present in a cup of tea.

Brewing Instructions
We recommend preparing Ceylon Purple using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewingmethods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup. Using one heaping teaspoon of tea leaves for every six ounces of water in your pot or cup. Heat water until it is steaming but not boiling, then infuse the tea leaves for approximately 04 minutes.Purple tea can be infused a second time for a lighter, mellower cup of tea.
Just like other varieties of tea, purple tea is produced from the leaves of thecamellia sinensisplant. Most teas are produced from one of two varietals of the camelliasinensis plant, eithercamellia sinensis sinensisorcamellia sinensis assamica. Black, green, white, oolong, pu–erh, and purple teas all come from the same plant, and vary primarily due to their specific varietal, when and where they are harvested, and how they are processed. While most tea plants produce dark green leaves, purple tea is made from a rare, newly discovered purple–leafed varietal of the tea plant.
About Purple Tea
After their initial discovery, these unique tea plants were later taken to Kenya, where the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya worked to create a cultivar of this wild plant which would be ideal for commercial tea production. The third– largest producer of commercial tea after China and India, Kenya now leads as the largest producer of purple tea. This unique tea thrives when grown at high elevations along the equator, where it receives twelve hours of sunlight a day year–round. sri lanka continues to produce a growing amount of purple tea each year, as purple tea becomes more well–known and sought–after by tea connoisseurs and curious consumers alike.
While tea has been grown for thousands of years in countries like China and India, purple tea is a relative newcomer to the tea world, having only been discovered a few decades ago. Purple tea has only been available commercially for a few years, and is still a rarity in many tea shops.
Although purple leaf tea has not been on the market long, its popularity is growing as more people find out about the unique history, flavor profile, and health benefits of the tea. While purple tea is on the rise, many people are still unfamiliar with the properties and benefits that are unique to purple tea.
