drank Purple Rain by JusTea
142 tasting notes

Bought this trying to have more low-caffeine alternatives.
A little tannic, fruity; Deep reddish brown color.
Really has no classic black-tea flavor. If you’re in the mood for “something different”, this could be it. It says it has “Kenyan Purple Tea” in it, but again, definitely herbal, not actually classic tea flavor.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Strong Berry taste; slightly tangy – acidic, but in a good way.
Not much “classic” tea flavor here – definitely an herbal and not a blend.
I got this as a tiny 2 cup sampler, so it must be available as of Dec 2023.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Not too sharp, but has a little tang.
Frankly, tastes like any generic cut peoke, Lipton tea anyone?
