Curated Quality Description

Our Purple Whole Leaf Tea is sourced directly from Kenyan growers who specialize in small‑batch purple tea cultivation. Each leaf is hand‑picked, naturally sun‑withered, and minimally processed to preserve its vibrant color and antioxidant richness. Michigan Teas selects only whole leaves — never dust, never fannings — ensuring a premium, clean, and flavorful brew.

Rare Purple Tea: One of the world’s rarest tea varieties, produced from a unique cultivar that naturally develops purple leaves rich in anthocyanins — the same antioxidants found in blueberries and blackberries.
