Purple tea is a very rare tea variety grown in the Mt. Kenya region. Purple tea has a very pleasant, sweet and yet woody flavor. The astringency of purple tea is considerably less than that of green and black tea because of the lower amount of tannin present. Purple tea itself has a dark color to it, however, its infusion is light, with a slight purplish tint. It tastes very much like green tea, with less astringency, bitterness, and caffeine content. Purple tea is known to have higher antioxidant activity and a greater quantity of other beneficial phytonutrients as well. What gives this plant leaves its distinct reddish-purple shade is the high amount of anthocyanin present which helps fight a wide range of illnesses. Studies have concluded that purple tea has a free-radical scavenging rate of 51% as compared to 34.3% for green tea. The greater the number of free radicals that get attacked by antioxidants in your body, the less likely you are to get chronic ailments.
