Description

1. Arrival and getting ready You'll receive a warm welcome from our tea farmers. They'll give you a traditional picking basket and briefly explain what's important when picking tea. Then it's time to get started – straight into the field! 2. Picking the purple tea You'll enter the lush tea fields, where the purple tea plants glow in the sunlight. Our experts will show you how to recognize the young, delicate leaves and pick them carefully. Purple tea is something special – its color comes from anthocyanins, which not only look beautiful but are also healthy. You'll feel the fresh air, hear the rustling of the leaves, and enjoy the tranquility of nature as you collect the leaves. 3. Processing the tea After harvesting the small amount of tea leaves, it's off to the processing plant. Here, you'll see firsthand how fresh leaves are turned into finished tea: Withering: The leaves are spread out on large sieves to lose moisture. Rolling: You can help by gently rolling the leaves to release the aromas. Oxidation: The leaves develop their typical color and aroma. Drying: Finally, the leaves are dried to make them durable. You're right in the middle of it and you can help out yourself! 4. Tea tasting In our cozy tea room, you can try the freshly processed purple tea. Our tea masters will explain how to prepare tea properly and which aromas you can recognize. Close your eyes and enjoy the floral, slightly sweet taste – a real experience for your senses! 5. Visit the Redhill project site Finally, you'll visit the Redhill project, a showcase for sustainable agriculture. You'll see how smart technologies and applicable methods are combined to protect the environment and improve the living conditions of farmers. Here, sustainability is lived – from water use to house construction. 6. Saying goodbye with a souvenir Before you leave the farm, you'll get a small bag of our purple tea as a gift. A perfect souvenir of a day full of discoveries, craftsmanship, and enjoyment. Why this trip? Unique: You'll experience the rare purple tea from plant to cup.
