Frequently Asked Questions
I see "Purple Tea" online all the time now. How is this different from the purple tea sold by mass marketers?
This is the most important distinction in the modern tea world. Mass-market "Purple Tea" is almost always "Zi Juan" —a cultivated varietal bred in a nursery for high yield and consistent color, often resulting in a vegetal or bitter taste. Our offering is Wild Yunnan Purple Buds (Zi Ya) . These occur randomly in the wild ancient trees. They cannot be planted or farmed. This rarity means a vastly superior flavor profile—sweet, floral, and complex, versus the often harsh taste of cultivated purple teas. You are paying for nature's lottery, not a lab result.
I'm sensitive to bitterness. Will this be too strong for me?
Quite the opposite. If you have been put off by teas that turn bitter with a moment's distraction, this tea will be a revelation. The Purple Bud is structurally different from mature leaves. It contains higher concentrations of amino acids (Theanine) which create umami and sweetness, and lower concentrations of the compounds that cause bitterness. You can accidentally over-steep this tea, and it will remain sweet and smooth—a forgiving luxury for daily drinkers.
The buds are purple, but the liquor is gold. Why isn't the tea purple?
A common point of curiosity on Reddit and tea forums! The anthocyanins that color the leaf are water-soluble but are sensitive to pH and temperature. In the near-neutral pH of your water, they remain clear, yielding that brilliant, translucent gold. If you were to add a drop of lemon juice (acid) to the cooled tea, you might actually see it shift towards a pinkish hue—a fun parlor trick that proves the antioxidant power is indeed in your cup!
I bought some and want to save it for a special occasion in 5 years. How do I store it?
Excellent instinct. Treat it like a fine Puerh cake. Keep it away from the kitchen (cooking smells) and the fridge. Place it in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated cupboard, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. If it's in the original pouch, ensure it's sealed tight. Over the years, the vibrant honey and floral notes will gradually deepen into notes of aged ginseng, resin, and antique wood. You will be rewarded for your patience.
