Ancient Chinese tea saint
Lu Yu wrote in his Tea Scripture: Teas, Purple tea is the supeme.
Located
at the heart of the forest or in areas of high biodiversity, old tea trees have
been growing for hundreds of years in Yunnan, totally integrated with the
natural ecosystem. These trees are the source of many intersections and natural
mutations, particularly (but not solely) responsible for the major differences
you notice in the aromas of Yunnan to another.
From a natural mutation that produces tea leaves or buds ... purple! This color is
due to anthocyanin pigmentation , the same as dark grapes. This
colorful natural substance is responsible for the color of some
plants such as blueberry, blackberry or cherry and some tea trees produce a
quantity in addition to chlorophyll, responsible for its green color
of the tea leaves. This purple color generally does not touch the buds or young
leaves that surround the buds, but sometimes this range may be wider violet and
spread to the entire tree.
