Purple tea is unlike any other tea in the world. It gets its striking colour from the natural anthocyanins in the leaves, the same powerful super-antioxidants found in blueberries, cherries, and other colourful superfoods
These anthocyanins give purple tea its remarkable antioxidant health benefits. Purple tea leaves are also an excellent source of natural GHG polyphenols, which are known for supporting fat metabolism and providing additional antioxidant benefits.
All tea comes from the jade green leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant, except for purple tea.
Kenyan purple tea owes its beautiful colour to the natural concentration of anthocyanins in the leaves, and it is made through a similar process to green tea but with more antioxidants, less caffeine, and a totally delicious, award-winning flavour that is entirely its own.
The rolling highlands of Kenya are the only place on earth where purple tea grows. Kenya has been producing tea since the early 1900s, but this unique variety was first cultivated in 2011.
Organically grown on small-scale farms by the families that JusTea partners with directly, every purchase of purple tea from Kenya supports those communities in Western Kenya.
JusTea is the first company in the world to offer purple tea, and the first Canadian tea company to bring it to tea lovers across Canada and the USA.
As a farmer-direct brand based in Vancouver, BC, we partner directly with the small-scale farming families in Kenya's Nandi Hills who grow and process every leaf, which means there are no brokers or middlemen between the farm and your cup.
Every JusTea purple tea tin comes with a hand-carved Kenyan wooden tea spoon and the photograph of the farmer who grew your tea, because at JusTea, every tin tells a story.
Purple tea is part of the Camellia Sinensis Assamica family and is not a GMO plant.
JusTea exclusively offers hand-picked, farmer-direct Purple Tea, ensuring that only the best quality leaves make it into your tin.
Because we work directly with our farmers rather than through tea brokers and middlemen, you receive the freshest loose leaf teas in Canada, and the farmers receive fair, sustainable wages.
Did you know that all tea comes from the jade green leaves of the tea tree except for purple tea? This unique cultivar yields beautiful, vibrant purple leaves because they contain a high concentration of super-antioxidants called anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries, acai, and pomegranates. There is genuinely nothing else like it.
Purple tea leaves have more antioxidants than any other tea leaf. The anthocyanins and GHG polyphenols in purple tea have anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties and have been shown to reduce cholesterol, boost cognitive function, and help prevent colds and flu. Plus, you can enjoy purple tea at any time of day, because it contains less than half the cafeine of Green Tea!
Fairly traded and farmer-direct, drinking JusTea's Kenyan purple tea directly benefits the farming families in Nandi Hills.. As a Canadian tea company and a member of the Fair Trade Federation, JusTea provides new opportunities for sustainable employment and a focus on ethical, natural and quality tea.
JusTea's purple tea has won major awards for its flavour, packaging design, and health benefits. With very low caffeine content, you can enjoy purple tea any time of day, brewed hot or steeped cold as a refreshing iced tea.

Purple Leaf Tea
"I've been drinking loose leaf tea for many years generally preferring Japanese greens like senchas. This is my new favorite tea and I expect I'll be back for more time and again."

Purple Mint
"I find that I am very hit or miss with mint teas since not many brands can get the right mix. Purple Mint is a big hit for me though! Very light and refreshing, it’s one of my no-caffeine go-to’s!"

Purple Jasmine
"It's my wind-down tea at the end of the day, or I'll do an iced jasmine tea with honey similar to what you'd find at most boba tea shops. If you're looking for something phenomenal but not too overstated, this tea is for you."
