Type: Black Tea
Grade: 1 and 2
Production area: Menghai, Yunnan Province

If you are seeking the pinnacle of black tea, look no further than this exquisite blend produced by Tea Master Chan. Crafted from rare purple buds from old-growth tea trees in spring, this tea is a true botanical rarity as purple tips appear in only a small percentage of tea trees. Research indicates that in high altitude regions, some tea leaves develop a purple hue as a natural defense against intense sunlight.

The aroma of this tea fills the room the moment the leaves meet hot water. Not only is the tea delicious, but it offers an exceptionally smooth and rich texture that envelops your mouth. Once ingested, a cooling and comforting sensation lingers in the throat, inviting a further savoring sip.

Due to the high-quality leaves used in its production, this tea can be steeped 10-12 times without losing its distinctive character. It is no surprise that this tea was chosen as the official VIP gift at the First Hong Kong Performing Arts Exhibition in October 2024.
