Ceylon Amethyst is a captivating addition to the world of tea—a low-grown, hand-picked purple tea that represents an entirely new classification! Crafted from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the same source as black, green, and other beloved teas, purple tea stands out with its stunning hue. While traditional teas often originate from dark green leaves, Ceylon Amethyst is derived from a unique, purple-leafed variety. With a flavor profile reminiscent of oolong, this exquisite tea offers a delightful balance—lighter than black tea yet more nuanced than the vegetal notes of green tea.
