From Williamson Tea

Light and refreshing with a distinctive nutty flavour, Purple Blush is a very precious tea grown solely on Changoi. Purple tea bushes naturally have very high levels of beneficial antioxidants and we decided to plant ours on our ‘solar farm’ to maximise the sun light the bushes received, concentrating the health and wellbeing benefits of this unusual tea. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to watch the magical and natural ‘Purple Blush’!

Origin: The heart of the Kenyan highlands on a farm powered entirely by renewable energy during the day with the use of solar power.
Ingredients: Kenyan Purple Tea

Aroma: Deep, rich black tea with a sweet edge. Once steeped develops into a sweet caramel based scent.

Flavour: Gentle note of sweet with a spiced fruit hint, that develops seamlessly into a toasted buttery note, resonating the flavour of honey roasted almonds. Further depth is added with a sudden heavy caramel piquancy that is found in the long lasting finish.

Learning Point: Purple tea contains an antioxidant that acts as a PH indicator, turning orange/pink with acidic solutions and a greenish colour for alkaline.

Final Thoughts: Fun to play around with, but the flavour is a little disappointing, with the exception of drinking it iced, which was delightfully light and refreshing. I would love to hear from someone who tried this and loved it, but it’s not something I would personally come back to. Overall, I think purple tea is something every avid tea lover should at least try, just for the experience.
