🌿 Herbal Highlights

Butterfly Pea Flower: Vibrant, earthy, and subtly floral, butterfly pea flowers give the blend its signature deep blue color and natural color-changing magic. Traditionally enjoyed as a botanical tea and valued for its naturally occurring antioxidant compounds.

Cornflower: Delicate, lightly floral, and subtly sweet, cornflower adds a soft botanical character while bringing beautiful pops of color to the blend.

Earl Grey: The bold, caffeinated foundation of the blend, Earl Grey brings classic black tea depth with bright citrus and aromatic bergamot notes.

Together, these botanicals create a citrusy, floral, subtly malty, and earthy cup with a mesmerizing color-changing finish. Add lemon and watch the magic happen. 🍋💜
