Purple Tea

Kenya-exclusive antioxidant tea

A rare purple-leaf tea cultivar grown almost exclusively in Kenya, rich in anthocyanin antioxidants. Supplied as loose leaf, teabag-cut or as antioxidant extract for premium tea brands, wellness and nutraceutical buyers. A genuine specialty differentiator with very little global competition.

Purple tea is a rare cultivar (TRFK 306/1) developed and grown almost exclusively in Kenya's high-altitude regions. Its purple leaves are naturally rich in anthocyanins — the same antioxidants found in blueberries — making it one of the most sought-after specialty and functional teas in the world.

We supply purple tea as whole loose leaf, teabag-cut grades and concentrated anthocyanin extract for tea brands, wellness formulators and nutraceutical manufacturers in the USA, Europe, Asia and the Gulf. Order samples to evaluate liquor, aroma and anthocyanin content before you commit.
