肯尼亚紫茶深受大众喜爱 孕育出无限商机
Purple tea is starting to become popular in Kenya and in other countries although it is twice the price of traditional black tea.
Kenya is the largest producer of black tea in the world. But black tea prices are low right now. Kenyan researchers developed the purple tea and offered it to farmers in 2011. Tea farming is one of the largest industries in the Kenyan economy. The farmers hope purple tea and other new kinds can help them make more money from their land. Other new kinds of tea, like the purple tea, are getting popular. Some people believe the new kinds are healthier than black tea.
Karanja Kinyanjui farms eight hectares of purple tea, along with 40 hectares of black tea. Kinyanjui makes twice as much from the new kind of tea. Bella Gwada likes purple tea. She traveled 42 kilometers from Nairobi to pick the tea. She said it tastes good. “You don’t even need to add sugar. It’s easy to digest and milder than black tea,” she said.
Purple tea contains something known as anthocyanin(花青素), which gives the leaves the purple color, and other things. Some people think the tea helps with weight loss. A person from the Kenya Tea Research Foundation said purple tea can reduce inflammation(炎症) in the body. One tea company is planning to set up a special factory for other kinds of tea in Kenya.
