Kenyan Purple Tea

Experience the finest flavors of Kenya with our exquisite Purple and unique purple tea. Originating from Kenya, it is developed from a purple cultivar from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant giving it the distinct purple tea leaf colour!

The tea leaves, in their striking shades of purple, are meticulously handpicked by our small-scale tea farmers in the rolling hills of Nandi Hills, ensuring only the finest and freshest leaves are selected.

It is renowned for its richness  in super-antioxidants (polyphenols and anthocyanins) found in superfoods such as blueberries and cherries. It’s processed similarly to green tea, but has more antioxidants, very low caffeine (12 mg per cup), and with a distinct delicious, woody aroma and light floral notes. It’s low in astringency and lacks the bitterness of tannin.

Embrace the wellness-promoting properties that antioxidants bring, helping to rejuvenate your body and mind. What’s more, the naturally low caffeine content ensures you can indulge in multiple cups of this invigorating purple tea throughout the day without worry, providing a gentle and sustained energy lift.
