I noticed this phenomenon in my burdock tea, so I did a little research and tracked down the answer- anthocyans! Many of these pigments found naturally in certain plants are pH indicators. They will manifest a blue-green hue in alkaline environments, and purple-red in acidic conditions.
Next time you make burdock tea, try an experiment. Make a about a half cup of a strong root decoction and let it cool fully. If your water, like mine, is alkaline, you'll get an emerald-green tea. Put it in a transparent container. Now slowly add full-strength (5% acidity) white vinegar. The tea will turn pale purple right before your eyes.

What is in green tea?
Green tea is made exclusively from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves have been gathered and heated (by steaming or pan-firing) to stop the oxidation process so the leaves retain their green color (this is why they don't turn black like black tea).Sometimes green teas are blended with other ingredients; these are technically called flavored teas and are not strictly green tea.

How much vitamin c in tea?
Yes. Green tea has some vitamin C, whereas black tea has none. The oxidation process used to create black tea destroys the Vitamin C. The amount of vitamin C in green tea is small but measurable, usually about 2-5% of RDA per cup. It's not enough to act as a primary source of vitamin C in the diet, but it's enough that someone who drinks a lot of very fresh tea may be getting some benefit from it.
