Zi Juan (Purple Grace) - An Exceptional Tea Treasure from Yunnan

Imagine holding something truly special in your hands - a tea that seems fit for a royal family. This remarkable Zi Juan, also known as Purple Grace, comes from the picturesque region of KU ZHU SHAN (Bitter Bamboo Mountain) in Jinggu County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province.

This tea rarity was discovered in 1985 when researchers from the Yunnan Tea Research Institute found a unique specimen among over 600,000 tea plants, featuring purple buds, leaves, and stems. It was like finding a rare gem among ordinary stones!

The tea boasts stunning purple buds, leaves, and stems that give it an almost mystical appearance. The dried tea has a purplish-black hue, and when steeped, it produces a brew with a delicate purple tint reminiscent of twilight over the Yunnan mountains.

The flavor profile is a true delight for the senses. Imagine biting into juicy plums and apricots - that's the fruity aroma and taste this tea offers. Unlike some Pu'er teas, you won't find any bitterness or astringency here. Instead, it caresses your palate with a silky texture and pleasantly fruity notes that linger long after the last sip.

This spring harvest from 2022 is the perfect companion for moments after a meal, when you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary. Each sip is like a little adventure - reminiscent of a stroll through a blooming Yunnan tea garden at dawn.

The Zi Juan tea plant is a smaller tree with spreading branches, semi-woody stems in a purplish-red color, and woody stems in a brownish-green. Its long oval leaves display shades ranging from green to subtle purple, while the buds shine with an intense purple hue like precious amethysts.

This tea is not just a beverage - it is a masterpiece of nature that reminds you that even among millions of ordinary things, something truly exceptional can sometimes be found.
