Sunrouge

Green and red Sunrouge teas, created by crossing C. taliensis with C. sinensis. These teas contain a large number of rare anthocyanins and catechins, which results in a bright red infusion. Sourced directly from Yuki Toyumura on the Pacific island of Tokunoshima, then tested in a German laboratory.

The rare red Sunrouge tea mainly consists of the new, shiny red leaves from the first harvest, resulting in a particularly high content of anthocyanins, particularly delphinidins, and a total catechin content that compares to Yabukita, a standard green tea cultivar.

A high proportion of leaves from later harvests are used for green Sunrouge. These matured leaves, in addition to their anthocyanins, have an even higher content of methylated catechins, and catechins in general, compared to red Sunrouge.
