    • Purple tea is taking the world by storm with its purple antioxidants, including GHG which is only found in purple tea (studies have shown GHG helps with weight loss)
    • Overtones of black plum and a mildy woody nose. Like a tannic green tea, with an incredibly sweet aftertaste in the throat that reminds of most of a boiled sweet
    • The liquor has a light purple-brown color, that turns light pink if you add lemon juice
    • Grown in Nandi County in Kenya's Rift Valley, and covers 1,000 acres at an altitude of 2,000 meters. The cold climate and volcanic soil is favorable for tea growing and accounts for the excellent quality of the tea.

    Why the premium price?

    • Special tea varietal (TRFK 306/1), developed and grown uniquely in Kenya using the Zi Juan cultivar
    • All Emrok Tea is 100% pesticide free, Rainforest Alliance (SAN) certified, and ISO 22000 certified
    • Its growers are part of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP), members of the Tea Board of Kenya, and Kenya Board of Standards (KEBS) approved.

    How many cups of tea is in a package? How do I store my tea?

    We recommend using ~1-2tsp (heaped) of tea for a standard mug, though you may want more or less depending on your taste, infuser and water temperature! Therefore...

    • 1oz of tea makes around 12-14 cups
    • 4oz of tea makes around 50-56 cups
    • 8oz of tea makes around 100-112 cups

    Always store tea in a dark and airtight container or cupboard (light degrades the tea removing the tasty goodness!). If stored correctly, our teas will retain their taste for up to three years. After that they are still safe to drink, but won't taste of much! 

    What does the ORAC score mean?

    ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is a scale to gauge antioxidant units. The higher the ORAC value, the higher the antioxidant level. 

    Allergen Warning:

    Nut allergies: All of our products are handled, packed and processed in facilities that handles nuts and seeds. You can also check our ingredients list in the description tab of each tea or product to see if they have added/blended nuts, nut oils or other nut derived compounds.

    Chamomile teas: A relatively low percentage of people are sensitive to chamomile and develop allergic reactions. People sensitive to ragweed and chrysanthemums or other members of the Compositae family are more prone to develop contact allergies to chamomile, especially if they take other drugs that help to trigger the sensitization (Srivastava, 2010).
