Kenya Purple Leaf Tea
Grown in the volcanic highlands of Kenya's Aberdare Mountain ranges, this rare handpicked tea is as beautiful as it is distinctive — shifting from green to a soft blush pink with a squeeze of citrus. Expect gentle notes of apricot and walnut skin in every cup.
Deep in the highlands of Kenya, where volcanic earth meets mountain mist, grows something truly rare. Our Kenya Purple Leaf is cultivated in the mineral-rich soils near the Aberdare Mountain ranges — at elevations between 1,500 and 2,500 meters, where cooler temperatures and steady highland rains coax out the very best in every leaf.
What makes this tea unmistakable is its stunning natural violet hue, a signature of its exceptionally high anthocyanin content — the same pigment found in wild blueberries and other deep-colored botanicals. Each leaf is handpicked with care and grown entirely free of pesticides, honoring both the land and the craft.
In the cup, Kenya Purple Leaf is a quiet revelation. A gentle astringency gives way to soft notes of sun-ripened apricot and the delicate bitterness of walnut skin — a flavor profile as layered and storied as the ancient soils it comes from.
For a touch of magic, add a squeeze of citrus — and watch your cup blush from green to a soft, rosy pink. A small moment of wonder that never gets old.
