Yunnan Purple Twist

Rare purple-hued black tea from Yunnan with bright, juicy, fruit-forward character.

Yunnan Purple Twist is a rare black tea from the Yunnan province in China featuring a unique cultivar that naturally develops a striking purple hue on the plant due to the region's specific growing conditions and tea genetics. These distinctive curly, twisted black tea leaves showcase their purple coloring even after processing, making this tea as visually stunning as it is delicious. Once oxidized and fired through traditional methods, the leaves unfurl during steeping to release a bright, juicy, sweet fruit-forward cup that sets Yunnan Purple Twist apart from typical black teas.

The flavor profile is exceptionally smooth and naturally sweet with pronounced fruity character - think ripe stone fruits and berries - creating a refreshing black tea experience that's perfect for those who may find traditional black teas too astringent. This premium loose leaf tea from China's famous Yunnan tea region offers a unique tasting experience that bridges the gap between black tea's body and oolong's fruitiness.
