Kenya Tippy Purple

Tippy Purple Tea

A Purple Tea from the Kapkoros region, and very much to our liking! The slightly open, twisted structure of the leaf with lightly golden tips already shows that this quality is different from the mainly broken versions which are usually available. The slight purple leaf colour, which is even more visible in the infusion, is not the result of a production method but comes from using a unique tea plant containing anthocyanin, which gives the leaves this particular colour. The cup has a slight lilac shine, and the tea offers complex, fruity aromas of plums and red berries, rounded off by a slightly tangy note in the finish.

4-5 tsp per litre
90-100°C hot water
steeping time 2-5 minutes
