Purple Beauty Green Tea

This tea continues my romance with purple tea. I’ve kept this tea constantly in my personal stash because I love it so much and finally decided to add it to the Leaves of Cha tea chest. Its unique taste is definitely purple; with notes of its yan cha (rock tea) pedigree and big leaf yunnan assamica processed into a green tea. For those looking for that mysterious and elusive Cha Qi, or the energy or life force of tea, this might be a place to look. It’s definitely a tea that I have felt strong Cha Qi while drinking.
