The source of the color is anthocyanin, which changes color along with cell sap acidity. High levels of acidity lead to red color, while medium acidity is more purple, and high alkalinity tends toward indigo. Purplish red tea results from an inherited reaction to unfavorable hot and humid summer environmental conditions, providing the tea tree with a mechanism for fighting scorching ultraviolet rays.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePu-erh tea growing areas tend to be between 1000 and 2000m elevation. According to surveys, higher altitude tea growing areas receive as much as 8 times the ultraviolet light of lower altitude growing areas. During the dry spring tea season, the atmosphere tends to be quite dusty which serves to reflect, scatter, and absorb most ultraviolet light. Entering into the rainy season, atmospheric dust is frequently washed away by rain. These clean, clear atmospheric conditions allow virtually all UV light reach the surface. In order to resist damage from this shortwave radiation, tea leaves produce anthocyanin, which can reflect away a portion of the UV light hitting the leaves. Although a southern Yunnan tea field during the high of the summer is a sea of green, most eye-catching are the specks of purplish-red scattered throughout. Purple bud tea trees occupy approximately 1-2% of all tea trees, and occur with varying intensities of purple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurplish red bud tea has throughout history been regarded as a standard for quality tea. Lu Yu in the \"Cha Jing\" evaluating the color of tea leaves, came to the early conclusion: \"bright cliffs and gloomy forests, purple is the highest and green the second\". Purple tea features prominent fragrance and rich flavor. A small number of tea trees growing on the rocky slopes of Fujian's Zhengyi mountain, because of their red color, are given the famous name Da Hong Pao.

There exist three unique varieties, all different cultivars. The original Purple tea is called \"Wild Purple\" or \"Ye Sheng\" Purple tea. The varietal is referred to as Assamica Dehongensis. Ye Sheng tea is very bitter when young but ages quickly and develops great complexity with age. It was originally processed into mao cha and sold as a kind of Raw Pu-erh tea, but more recently has been processed into Black tea with incredible results! The second kind of purple tea is often called \"Zi Cha\" 紫茶 or 紫芽 (Purple tea or Purple Bud). Zi Cha is a naturally occurring mutated version of Assamica. It grows all over Yunnan and accounts for less than 1% of cultivated Assamica in Yunnan. The third kind of purple tea is called \"Zi Juan\". Zi Juan (aka Purple Beauty) is a man-made cultivar developed by Yunnan Xishuangbanna Tea Research Station in the late 1990's.

You'll be introduced to some teas that, while not necessarily everyday drinkers, are very satisfying and rewarding teas! The Further Steps sampler has an aged purple raw pu-erh, a potent old tree ripe pu-erh, less common black and green teas, a hei cha, a fantastic Anxi oolong, old tree white tea and even a super-portable ripe pu-erh!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpdated May 6, 2025!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e25 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/collections\/aged-raw-pu-erh-tea\/products\/2003-yi-wu-chun-zheng-pin-raw-pu-erh-tea-cake\"\u003e2003 Yi Wu \"Chun Zheng Pin\" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/collections\/aged-raw-pu-erh-tea\/products\/2003-yi-wu-chun-zheng-pin-raw-pu-erh-tea-cake\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e25 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/2023-yunnan-sourcing-peerless-ripe-pu-erh-tea-cake\"\u003e2023 Yunnan Sourcing \"Peerless\" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e25 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/bai-ye-varietal-dan-cong-black-tea\"\u003eBai Ye Varietal Dan Cong Black Tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/products\/bai-ye-varietal-dan-cong-black-tea\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Spring 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e25 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/long-jing-43-laoshan-green-tea-from-shandong\"\u003eLong Jing #43 Laoshan Green Tea from Shandong\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/products\/long-jing-43-laoshan-green-tea-from-shandong\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Spring 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e25  Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/mang-fei-mountain-old-tree-white-tea-dragon-balls\"\u003eMang Fei Mountain \"Old Tree White Tea\" Dragon Balls\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/products\/mang-fei-mountain-old-tree-white-tea-dragon-balls\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e25 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/anxi-da-dan-varietal-oolong-tea\"\u003eAnxi \"Da Dan Varietal\" Oolong Tea\u003c\/a\u003e Spring 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e25 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/2008-hei-shan-old-tree-raw-liu-bao-tea\"\u003e2008 Hei Shan \"Old Tree Raw\" Liu Bao Tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.com\/products\/2008-hei-shan-old-tree-raw-liu-bao-tea\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e10 Grams - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/jing-mai-mountain-ripe-pu-erh-tea-cha-gao-instant-pu-erh-tea\"\u003eJingmai Mountain Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cha Gao * Instant Pu-erh Tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/starter-pack\"\u003eFirst Steps Tea Sampler\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunnansourcing.us\/products\/next-steps-tea-sampler\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNext Steps Tea Sampler\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596567101673,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2101\/0117\/files\/Further_Steps_Tea_Sampler3.png?v=1751833694"},{"product_id":"tong-mu-village-hua-xiang-zheng-shan-xiao-zhong-black-tea-spring","title":"Tong Mu Village \"Hua Xiang\" Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong Black Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn amazingly fruity and sweet Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong varietal black tea grown in Tong Mu Village area of Fujian!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViscous, sweet, fruity and incredibly infusable black tea that will deepen your appreciation of the Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (正山小种) varietal and of Fujian black teas as a whole!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLate April Harvest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"Spring 2025 \/ 25 Grams","offer_id":47739118715113,"sku":"","price":8.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2101\/0117\/files\/2018_huaxiang_zsxz_1.jpg?v=1725473832"},{"product_id":"purple-tea-sampler","title":"Purple Tea Sampler","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExplore a very unique selection with our Purple Tea Sampler.
