Experience the elusive mystery that is the phenomenon known as our Bella Luna Blue. Available only on days of a blue moon, our rare Bella Luna Blue blends the zesty freshness of lemongrass and the flavor of blueberries with the exotic Butterfly Pea Flower, which when brewed, turns this mystifying herbal tea indigo! For an even more exciting treat, add a few drops of lemon juice to the mix and watch as the real magic unfolds right before your eyes!
The butterfly pea flower, or Clitoria ternatea, is a plant in the pea family that has been used as a natural dye for centuries. It is used in religious ceremonies as well as in food and drinks, where it is often combined with flavors like honey, citrus, or spices. When the pH decreases, usually from the addition of citrus, its blue color changes to purple. That’s part of why we called our tea Bella Luna Blue. Also because naming it after the flower’s other name, Asian pigeonwings, didn’t have quite the same ring.
