Discovering and developing new innovations is a crucial aspect of progress. The Tea Research Foundation of Kenya's efforts to crossbreed local tea plants with a wild Assam variety resulted in the discovery of purple tea, a unique cultivar with potential health benefits and a distinct flavor profile. Commercial cultivation of this cultivar in high-altitude regions of Kenya has contributed to diversifying the Kenyan tea industry and has gained global recognition. The purple color in the leaves is attributed to the presence of anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries and other purple-hued plants. Did you know that purple tea contains a whopping 135 times more anthocyanin than regular green tea? That's right! The story of purple tea reminds us of the power of research, innovation, and perseverance in achieving success.

Purple Kenyan tea, renowned for its exceptionally high antioxidant levels—up to 16 times more than blueberries—offers significant health benefits. Rich in anthocyanins, which give the tea its unique purple hue, it helps shield cells from oxidative damage, reduces inflammation, and lowers the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. A delightful and healthful choice, this tea enhances overall wellness, making it an excellent addition to your diet

Here are some additional flavor enhancements you might consider adding to purple tea to enrich its taste and aroma:

Lemon: Adding lemon to purple kenyan tea can elevate the taste experience while complementing its natural qualities. Lemon not only introduces a refreshing citrus note that brightens the tea's flavor but also can enhance the absorption of antioxidants. The zesty addition harmonizes with the slightly earthy notes of purple tea, making each sip delightfully vibrant and more healthful.
