Introducing Purple Tea! It is named because the bushes naturally grow purple leaves in Kenyan tea gardens. This is not a gmo plant; it is completely natural and part of the tea family (Camellia Sinensis Assamica). The reason the leaves are purple is because they contain super antioxidants: Anthocyanins. These are the same antioxidants that make other plants purple such as blueberries. Over 25 years ago, the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya (TRFK) developed this new Purple cultivar and small-scale Kenyan farmers planted the seedlings in 2011. Teaberry's is proud to support small scale orthodox farms in Kenya.
