The source of the color is anthocyanin, which changes color along with cell sap acidity. High levels of acidity lead to red color, while medium acidity is more purple, and high alkalinity tends toward indigo. Purplish red tea results from an inherited reaction to unfavorable hot and humid summer environmental conditions, providing the tea tree with a mechanism for fighting scorching ultraviolet rays.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!-- more --\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePu-erh tea growing areas tend to be between 1000 and 2000m elevation. According to surveys, higher altitude tea growing areas receive as much as 8 times the ultraviolet light of lower altitude growing areas. During the dry spring tea season, the atmosphere tends to be quite dusty which serves to reflect, scatter, and absorb most ultraviolet light. Entering into the rainy season, atmospheric dust is frequently washed away by rain. These clean, clear atmospheric conditions allow virtually all UV light reach the surface. In order to resist damage from this shortwave radiation, tea leaves produce anthocyanin, which can reflect away a portion of the UV light hitting the leaves. Although a southern Yunnan tea field during the high of the summer is a sea of green, most eye-catching are the specks of purplish-red scattered throughout. Purple bud tea trees occupy approximately 1-2% of all tea trees, and occur with varying intensities of purple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurplish red bud tea has throughout history been regarded as a standard for quality tea.

Purple Beauty, on the other hand, is the result of human cultivation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tea community first began to notice the Purple Bud variant at Wuyi Shan. 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.

It can be grown in the same manner as other Yunnan large-leaf teas. Tea tree production volume is moderate. Purple Beauty has an elevated aroma, smooth and light mouth feel (\u003cem\u003ekou gan\u003c\/em\u003e), but with a  noticeable bitterness.

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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest in Jingmai area, Lancang county of Simao (Yunnan Province)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApril Picking and processing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarietal: Zi Juan 紫娟\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevation: 1450-1500 meters\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"50 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549013725383,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121341161671,"sku":"","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549013758151,"sku":null,"price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121341194439,"sku":"","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549013790919,"sku":null,"price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121341227207,"sku":"","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549013823687,"sku":null,"price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121341259975,"sku":"","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kilogram \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549013856455,"sku":null,"price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kilogram \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121341292743,"sku":"","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/thumb_94611617-dced-4670-88bd-7b5dc9cf19e1.jpg?v=1554252836"},{"product_id":"2018-drunk-on-red-sun-dried-black-tea-cake","title":"2018 \"Drunk on Red\" Sun-Dried Black Tea Cake","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a blend of black tea from both the Mengku and Feng Qing area of Lincang.  Both Autumn harvested black teas processed with sun-drying technique (晒红) .  The tea is picked, wilted, fried, bruised by rolling, wet withered, and then finally sun-dried in it's final stage (much like raw pu-erh mao cha).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen sun-drying is applied in the final stage as opposed to heat-drying, the result is a black tea that is more subtle when young, but ages very well over the coming years.  Younger sun-dried black teas also tend to steep longer and display more character in the middle to later steeps.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a strong black tea with plenty of depth and complexity that will age wonderfully, developing honey sweetness and earthy spice character after just a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 Grams Per Cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvested from Autumn 2018 Tea\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"1 Cake (100 Grams)","offer_id":19636948172903,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Tong (7 x 100 Grams)","offer_id":19636954005607,"sku":"","price":62.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/DSC_5015.JPG?v=1549422234"},{"product_id":"golden-yunnan-black-tea-sampler-harvest","title":"\"Golden Yunnan\" Black Tea Sampler","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake a flight to the Famous Tea Region of Yunnan!
