Lychee Purple Leaf Tea

We hope to have more Lychee Purple available this fall!

Purple tea is an entirely new category of tea! Just like black or green tea, it is from the Camellia Sinensis plant, but the leaves of these tea bushes are purple instead of green. It was first discovered growing wild in the Assam region of India, and is now grown commercially in Kenya, Africa. Ours is from the Tumoi Tea Garden in the Nandi Hills of Kenya.

Lychee Purple combines purple tea leaves with lychee, apple, and pineapple for a fruity, tropical tea with a hint of sweetness.

Cups Per Package

This purple leaf tea is carefully blended and packaged by hand in a reusable tin or a resealable kraft bag. Our 4 oz. tin or kraft bag makes approximately 35 – 40 cups of tea. Our 8 oz. kraft bag makes approximately 70 – 80 cups.

Ingredients

Purple leaf tea (Origin: Nandi Hills, Kenya), apple, pineapple, lemon peel, currants, blue corn flower, natural lychee flavor.

Tasting Notes

Light, fruity, and tropical.

How To Brew Lychee Purple

Use 1 level teaspoon per 6 oz. water. Heat water until briskly steaming (not boiling). Steep for 3 minutes. This tea may be infused twice or more.

We recommend preparing Kenyan Purple using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup.

Lychee Purple Caffeine Content

Purple tea is low in caffeine.

Lychee Purple Benefits

Purple tea is high in antioxidants and anthocyanins.
