From Yunnan Sourcing

Purple tea (aka Zi Cha) is a large leaf varietal (Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica) that occurs naturally as a result of mutation.

This ripe tea is incredibly unique both because it’s made from wet piling 100% purple tea varietal, and because of the taste as well!

Ultra velvety smooth tea, with tons of creamy sweetness. The aging in Jinggu (warm and humid climate) has transformed this tea into something to be enjoyed right now. The creamy sweetness and fruit juice notes are wonderful to behold but there is something totally unique about this tea!

Harvested in Spring 2011, wet piled in late 2011, and then stored in Jinggu (Simao, Yunnan) until October 2019.

Not the most remarkable shou, but it is unique nevertheless. The aroma is weak and perfumy with hints of nuts and parsley. The taste profile is a mix of earthy, savoury and sour notes. There are nutty flavours as well as a mildly fruity flavour of juniper berries.
