An enigmatic tea harvested in small batches from wild purple-leaf tea trees, these buds have a floral fragrance and a sweet gingery flavour.
Why we love it:
- It is incredibly fragrant with unique flavour notes of ginger and rose - all naturally inherent in the leaves themselves.
- It's rare. Because it is from wild, centuries-old tea trees, there is only one small harvest a year. A precious gift from Mother Nature.
- Nobody knows quite what this tea is. Some think these buds are not the buds of leaves but of off-shoot branches.
- It is minimally processed: the buds are simply plucked and dried. Their purple hue is completely natural. Â
This tea was a big surprise when we first discovered it, and it has since become one of our bestsellers and a true rare gem.
