Purple Bud has long been known as a scattered deviation that grows extensively among different kinds of tea plants. It is most common in summer tea. High anthocyanin content provides its purple color. It also results in a bitter flavor, which has given the purple buds a reputation as unsuitable for tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, in the late 70's and early 80's Wuyi Stone Tea (Yan Cha) producers discovered that Stone Tea variants could be cultivated and tamed, resulting in a fine tea variety with high yield and stress resistance. This also reduced much of the tea's bitterness. Consequently, the Fujian Tea Research Society produced a new asexual tea variety through natural hybridization of Da Hong Pao tea: Purple Bud Stone Tea. In technical terms, it is a medium leaf, late budding, shrub tea variety. It features dark yellow-green tender tips, purple buds, purplish-red leaf bases, short space between sections, little fuzz, soft leaves, and dense bud tips. In addition, it grows with high yield, and high stress resistance. Spring buds occur in mid to late March and one-bud-three-leaf growth occurs in mid to late April. The quality of this tea is excellent when processed as an Oolong. This variety represents a successful example of utilizing and improving on precious existing tea tree resources and is suitable for widespread cultivation in Oolong tea growing areas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilding on this breeding experience with Oolong teas, research was begun into the cultivation of variants of Yunnan large-leaf teas. In 1985, technical staff from the Yunnan Tea Research Institute discovered a tea tree with purple buds, leaves, and stalk among the institutes' plantation of over 600,000 trees. They processed its fresh leaves to produce a dark green roasted tea. The dried tea had a purple color and maintained this color in its brewed tea liquor. It also possessed a pure fragrance and a strong, intense flavor. Because of the tea's purple buds, leaves, and stems and the fact that it maintained this purple color after processing, they named the tea \"Purple Beauty.\" Through research and further cultivation, this variant has given rise to current Purple Beauty tea trees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurple Beauty tea trees are considered a small arbor\/shrub, big leaf, medium bud variety.

Only a few trees in a tea forest produce purple buds, and even ancient trees produce limited purple buds. Purple Beauty, on the other hand, is a cuttage plantation tree grown with high yield and tight planting. Tea variants are preselected with light and temperature added to encourage trees throughout the plantation to develop a purple color from the buds to the leaves and stalks. Traditional Purple Bud leaf blades are thick and dark green. The prominent veins in the leaves are similar to those of wild tea.  Traditional purple bud arbor tea brews a golden-yellow tea liquor with a heavy mouth feel and full flavor, while purple beauty has thin tea liquor, brownish-green color, and is relatively bitter. The two share high levels of anthocyanin.  The roasted tea is somewhat bitter and astringent, and the brewed liquor is a brownish green or indigo blue color, the sun-dried version shares some character with Pu-erh and has balanced astringency \/ bitter character.  Sun-dried Purple beauty is suitable for compression and aging as well!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"50 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016838343,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121324646599,"sku":"","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016871111,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325072583,"sku":"","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016903879,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325105351,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016936647,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325138119,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016969415,"sku":null,"price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325170887,"sku":"","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/DSC_1212.JPG?v=1557493627"},{"product_id":"yunnan-pine-needles-certified-organic-green-tea","title":"Yunnan Pine Needles Certified Organic Green Tea","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are proud to offer a Certified Organic Green Tea from Yunnan.  This tea was grown in the area of Simao and was harvested in April. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePine Needles (松针绿茶) is a 1 Leaf to 1 Bud picking style of Yunnan Green tea, which is a \"Yun Kang #10\" varietal growing at an altitude of 1300 meters (4300 feet) on the southern slope Ma Wei Mountain (just west of Pu'Er City).  The processing is typical of green tea with sun withering, rolling, oxidization, and finally drying. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a classic \"robust\" style Yunnan Green Tea, a 1 leaf to 1 bud plucking style.  It's floral, beany, grassy and sweet when brewed carefully.  We recommend brewing gong fu style (short steepings at first) using 85C water and 4 grams per 100ml vessel.
