From Murchie's Tea & Coffee

Discontinued

Purple Majesty is a unique purple tea from the Nandi Hills in Kenya, which is home to some of the highest elevation tea gardens in Africa (6700 feet above sea level).

Purple tea comes from a cultivar of Camellia sinensis which produces purple leaves during the rainy season. Two leaves and a bud are hand-plucked and then processed similar to a pan-fired Taiwanese green tea – this tea is heated immediately to prevent oxidation, so it… Read more

I really wanted to love this uniquely coloured tea. I can’t taste a difference between this and regular greens, but this is one of the more flavourful greens.

Some fruity and thick/creamy notes that would had been wonderful if the bitterness were replaced with sweetness. Typical green vegetal flavours.
