What are Anthocyanins? And why are they Important?

Living your healthiest life and cup of tea at a time!

Anthocyanins are a type of pigment that is found in plants that are believed to offer significant health benefits due to their antioxidant effects. In short, this means that these pigments fight unstable molecules, called free radicals, that damage cells in your body and increases the risk of certain diseases.

It is argued that anthocyanins boost the immune system and help fight inflammation, heart disease, viral infections, and even cancer.

Introducing Jua Na Mlima Tea Company

Purple tea, like all other tea originates from the Camellia Sinensis plant. The same plant that we get our familiar black and green tea from. The purple appearance of the tea is caused by a unique natural occurring mutation which produces anthocyanin, the same powerful anti-oxidant found in blueberries. In fact, it contains 1.5 percent compared to .1 percent for blueberries.

Get 15 times more anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-cancer benefits all in 1 cup of tea compared to blueberries.
