{"title":"Kenyan Purple Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurple tea is one of the rarest teas in the world, and Kenya is where it's grown. It comes from a purple-leaf variety of the tea plant, developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, and gets its colour from anthocyanins, the same pigments found in blueberries and red grapes. The flavour is lighter than black tea, with a woody aroma, light floral notes and very little bitterness. Ours is grown in the Nandi Hills, without pesticides, and is vegan and gluten-free.
