people know about it. Most tea lovers fall in love with it due to its unique flavor,\u00a0potential health benefits, and overall profile.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, though it is rising in popularity among tea lovers, many people still do not know about it. Perhaps you as a tea lover are in the dark about its history, properties, and benefits. That said, we are pleased to share more insight about purple <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/ginger-lemon-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">tea<\/a> below.

Most people confuse this purple tea with purple hibiscus tea, despite the two being entirely different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purple tea was first discovered growing wild in India in a region named Assam. However, it is commercially grown in Kenya, Africa, in areas such as the Tumoi Tea Garden found in the Nandi Hills of Kenya. Purple tea in Kenya was developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya (TRFK) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purple_Teas_Profile\"><\/span><b>Purple Tea\u2019s Profile<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because it is relatively new, some think it is obtained from a unique purple tea plant. However, just like other tea varieties, purple tea is also a variety of\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camellia sinensis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0plant. Most teas are produced from one of two varieties of this plant. These include\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camellia sinensis Sinensis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camellia sinensis assamica\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White, green, black, Pu-erh, oolong and purple teas come from these varieties but primarily differ in their production, harvesting, and processing methods. While most of these teas are produced from dark green leaves, purple tea is made from a purple-leafed variety of the tea plant (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purple tea is processed by the same method used to process <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/butterfly-pea-flower-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">green tea<\/a>. You can find that these two teas have many of the same components. For example, they contain polyphenolic compounds such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin gallate (ECG) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, purple tea has additional and unique components like anthocyanidins (malvidin, pelargonidin and cyanidin 3-<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-galactoside) and 1,2-di-<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-galloyl-4,6-<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-(<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)-hexahydroxytriphenylene-\u03b2-D-glucose (GHG) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). These components are helpful in the body, as you shall see in the discussion of purple tea benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_The_Flavor_Of_Purple_Tea\"><\/span><b>What Is The Flavor Of Purple Tea?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, tea lovers question its flavor, just like they would for any other tea variety. Well, purple tea has a unique flavor. Its flavor profile resembles that of oolong tea. When you compare it to black tea however, its flavor is slightly lighter (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In regards to green tea, it lacks that vegetation <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/matcha-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">taste<\/a>. All in all, the tea has a rich flavor that you will likely enjoy, especially if you love trying out different flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Purple_Tea_Facts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40924 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5123-1024x576.png\" alt=\"purple tea\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5123.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5123-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5123.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5123-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5123.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Purple_Tea_Contain_Caffeine\"><\/span><b>Does Purple Tea Contain Caffeine?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it does.

All you need is your purple leaf <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lavender-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">tea<\/a> and a cup or two of water.

Here are some of the research backed-up potential benefits of consuming purple tea:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Brand_New_Tea_And_Flavor_Experience\"><\/span><b>A Brand New Tea And Flavor Experience<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As discussed earlier, most tea varieties like black, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cinnamon-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">green<\/a>, and oolong tea come from the dark green leaves of the\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camellia sinensis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0plant (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4502735\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). However, purple tea comes from purple leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love trying out fresh foods and drinks, you will enjoy consuming purple tea. Additionally, you may also love trying out different ingredients for enhanced flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you may experiment by adding a few drops of lemon juice to the tea. Otherwise you may add a scoop of honey and still enjoy your tea. As you do this, you will observe that your tea will change color depending on the extra ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, adding some drops of lemon juice may turn it to a rich purple or pink color depending on the number of drops. This happens because antioxidants in the tea react with the added ingredient (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5495722\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note, the changes only occur if you use pure and unblended purple tea.

So, generally, drinking purple tea can help promote relaxation. However, scientists have found that purple tea also contains a unique amino acid known as L-theanine. L-theanine has been shown to reduce anxiety and relax the mind without inducing drowsiness (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18296328\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, consult with your doctor before you consider drinking purple tea for its relaxation purposes. You may find that they may recommend other strategies instead of drinking this tea. It is because some methods work best for different people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They may suggest practicing mindful meditation, doing yoga, listening to soothing music, exercising, soaking in a warm bath, or taking brisk walks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Purple_Tea_Facts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40927 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5680-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5680.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5680-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5680.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5680.png 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/ginger-tea-with-honey-benefits-side-effects\/\">Ginger Tea With Honey: Facts, Health Benefits And Side Effects<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_Cognition\"><\/span><b>Improved Cognition<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most purple foods and drinks are believed to help improve cognition. As purple tea falls in this category, consuming it has also been tied to improved cognition. Improved awareness is vital because, for one, it helps enhance your comprehension of things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might find that you develop a more hands-on approach to learning and have an increased understanding element. This allows you to explore materials and conduct comprehensive research, further building your knowledge of various concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, improved cognition helps boost your thinking, memory, and creativity. All these could occur because your mind is much more relaxed due to decreased feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18296328\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Packed_With_Polyphenol_Compounds\"><\/span><b>Packed With Polyphenol Compounds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We earlier mentioned that purple tea also contains polyphenols. These compounds have become a significant interest in nutrition over the last decades due to their ties to several possible health benefits. So far, numerous studies have tied these organic compounds to the following potential health benefits (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6160559\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enhanced and regulated metabolism.

Additionally, an increased metabolism boosts your energy levels and helps you feel more productive and better.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced risk of chronic diseases. Polyphenol consumption from purple tea and other plants containing them might also reduce your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better weight management. A growing body of literature also shows that polyphenol consumption may help control weight. These compounds are believed to have anti-obesity properties that stimulate thermogenesis and energy expenditure (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6160559\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). These two activities increase calorie burning, which helps you burn more calories.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better overall health.
