These unopened, purple buds from Puerh trees in Yunnan, China are a rare, precious gift from mother nature. They are harvested from wild thousand-year-old Puerh tea trees of a purple-leaf varietal that grows natively in the region. The tea has a soft, round nature with a hauntingly floral honeysuckle fragrance and spicy notes of candied ginger and preserved plum.
Wild Purple Tea Buds are harvested only once a year in small batches, due to the rarity and unpredictable yield of wild trees. The tea buds are dried naturally with minimal processing to preserve their pink hue and natural floral flavour. This tea has a lower caffeine content than other teas, making it almost like a tisane.Â
A huge surprise to us here at Plantation when we first discovered them, these tea buds have since become one of our bestsellers and a true rare gem.
