Description
From the first sip, the sweet floral character of our Organic Purple Bamboo Black loose leaf tea is engaging and inviting. The initial overall impression is reminiscent of a fresh bouquet of orchard trees and sweet berries. When brewed, this tea has a light-medium amber coloration with a medium body.
The purple coloring of the leaves is attributable to anthocyanin, a type of flavonoid with antioxidant effects that exist in nature. This pigment yields hues from red to purple and is responsible for the color of blueberries and currants.
For many years tea leaves naturally tinged with violet were tossed together with other plucked leaves for Pu-erh production. The interest in dedicating solo production and processing of this leaf is a recent development. Our Organic Purple Bamboo Black tea is one such example, produced exclusively from purplish leaves.
Brewing Information
Brewing Tips: Organic Purple Bamboo Black tea should be made with cold, filtered water that has been brought to a rolling boil (205-212° F). Using one rounded teaspoon of loose leaf tea or one teabag for each cup required, pour the boiling water over the tea leaves. Organic Purple Bamboo Black tea should be steeped for 4-5 minutes. Once the ideal brewing time has been reached, the leaves should be removed to prevent further steeping. Decant and enjoy this organic purple tea!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for my order to ship?
We strive to ship orders within 2-3 days of receipt. However, due to the handcrafted nature of our products, combined with inventory limitations, some orders may take longer to ship. If there is a significant delay in shipping your order, we will contact you directly with details.
Are your teas cultivated naturally? Are they Organic?
All our teas are sourced from tea estates, suppliers and importers that we have personally worked with for decades and many for generations! We only purchase teas that have been cultivated naturally, devoid of pesticides and growth agents.
Teas that have the term “Organic” in the products name have gone through additional certification by the country or origin and USFDA. Even though all our products are natural, we are unable to list them as Organic unless they have gone through these steps. Sometimes, this certification can be costly and time consuming for growers. Each country has different regulations, so many sell the teas to us without this extra labeling.
How long does tea stay fresh?
If sealed properly and stored away from extreme hot/cold temps and moisture, tea will stay as flavorful as the day you bought it, even after 18 months.
How long should I brew my tea?
