Recently, Kenya has emerged as a new tea producing power. They’re not yet at the level of other tea producing nations yet, though they’re trying to differentiate themselves through purple tea.

Now purple tea does not refer to oxidation levels. It more refers to the anthocyanin content in the leaves which gives purple tea its unique colour.

It’s okay, but they need to do more work to produce quality. With time, I’m sure they’ll get there.

I take it back! Just realized I own Indian oolong. Specifically, it’s Nilgiri.

This is very hard to find.

Oh yeah, here’s some Kenyan purple tea. Technically, it’s a green tea in terms of oxidation but the leaves are purple.
