Purple Leaf Tea

Purple Leaf Tea is completely natural and part of the tea family (Camellia Sinensis Assamica). These purple leaves from the Nandi Hills in Kenya naturally grow this color on the tea bush; the reason the leaves are purple is because they contain the super antioxidants: Anthocyanins. These are the same antioxidants that make other plants purple: like our favorite grapes, blueberries, pomegranates, and acai berries. Purple Leaf Tea is also a color changing tea -- squeeze a couple drops of lemon into your tea cup and watch the purple color intensify. The tea liquor has notes of sweet plum and fresh spring greens. Use 1 rounded teaspoon (3g) dry leaf per 6 ounces of spring water heated to 175°, steeping for 3 minutes. May be resteeped, but is better without milk.
