Purple Tea is a special Yunnan tea. There exist three unique varieties, all different cultivars. The original Purple tea is called "Wild Purple" or "Ye Sheng" Purple tea. The varietal is referred to as Assamica Dehongensis. Ye Sheng tea is very bitter when young but ages quickly and develops great complexity with age. It was originally processed into mao cha and sold as a kind of Raw Pu-erh tea, but more recently has been processed into Black tea with incredible results!

Reviews

The lose tea was good,

"The lose tea was good, the pu er tea is too compressed, and as such does not produce a good tea"

— Dirk R. (4/5)

Interesting and Quality Selection

"Nice variety of teas. Light roast wild tree black/red and the 2011 wild tree sheng are standouts IMO. Good opportunity to try some teas I wouldn't have otherwise."

— Jack V. (5/5)

Great variety of teas!

"I love the variety of teas in the package, all of which have unique tastes. It allows me to get a variety without having to spend a ton of time and money buying each individual tea."

— Benjamin M. (5/5)

Good Variety

"I liked pretty much everything in the sampler, except for the ripe pu-ehr. But then again, I prefer raw over ripe anyways."

— JAmes D. (4/5)

Great for learning different tea type characteristics

"Having tasted all of the different varieties of purple tea in this sampler, it helps to provide clear reference to different characteristics in each tea type. In addition, one is able to notice the increased contrasting of the sweetness from the purple teas with the slightest bitterness resulting from the high levels of anthocyanin. Being a believer in the health benefits of no chemicals added tea, the sampler allowed me to open up an entirely different option to various types of teas. It was money well spent and I will be buying larger quantities of the types contained in this sampler."
