Yunnan Purple Buds

Yunnan Purple Buds is a black tea made from a rare purple leaf tea cultivar called Zi Juan, or "Purple Beauty." 

Zi Juan produces beautiful reddish-purple leaves that are high in anthocyanins, a family of red and blue antioxidants found in fruits like blueberries, blackcurrants, grapes and butterfly pea flowers. 

In recent years, Zi Juan has become a popular tea in China as a unique source for these healthful plant pigments, catechins and dynamic aroma. Yunnan Purple Buds is grown in an organic and biodiverse tea garden in a lush mountainous region of Yunnan’s Lincang territory boarding Burma. 

Wa Shan is a famous tea mountain since ancient times named after the  Wa ethnic minority group who calls it home and who has farmed tea for more than a thousand years in this region.
