YES, this is a true blue tea! I let it steep for about 8 minutes and the color is vibrant. Add a squeeze of lime or lemon and it really does turn purple! The flavor does taste like peas but it's barely there if you add the citrus and simple syrup.

This tea is so beautiful and delicious with a bit of honey! Plus, it's so fun for kids. Add a bit of lemon juice and watch its naturally bright blue color turn to purple then pink. Like magic! (And a great opportunity for a tasty science lesson since it's the changing acid level that triggers the color change) Another fun option- Buy Miracle Noodles and soak them in boiling water and these tea bags. The noodles will turn purplish-blue! Drain and add a squeeze of lemon and they turn pink! Delicious and fun for the whole family.

It's fun to watch the water turn purple, the teas itself dosnt have much of a flavor, you are better off adding some lemon into it to add some extra taste.

Not sure if it's the fact that it's a very pretty blue (scientifically proven to induce a calming effect in people based on several studies) or if the tea itself has a calming effect, but it has definitely helped me deal with a recent increase in stressors. You can get up to 6-8 cups out of it as long as you remember to store the tea bag in the fridge. I have a tiny mason jar I keep it in. Heat water to a lukewarm temperature, just slightly cooler than your skin temp (85-90F) and leave the tea to steep for 1-3 mins. I like mine a little on the warmer side with a teaspoon of lavender syrup, but you can have it without any additions. It tastes like a green tea or a mint tea, but without the bitterness.

The flowers are ph indicators, so the tea is blue until you add acid. The more acid you add the more it turns from blue to purple to pink. My family LOVES it iced with sugar and lime juice. The flavor is very delicate and is also good hot with milk and sugar. If yours is not blue when you brew it you have slightly acidic water. My son and I think it has a very slight blueberry taste. When you add more than 2 top to a cup it tastes closer to cotton candy. We all love it, and it's fun for guests to add their own lime or lemon and see the different colors.

love it

i have never wrote a review and i feel terrible about leaving a bad one, but good lord. i opened the bag and immediately gagged. it smells like a rotting body, i am not exaggerating. after steeping for 5 minutes the tea had only gone a little blue and had no flavor, just the terrible smell. i don’t know if i just got a bad batch or if it’s supposed to be like this but these were really disappointing.:( i still can’t get the smell out of my nose

As a bartender I am always looking to try something different and this is an awesome product. I make a cup of this tea and mix it with a cup of sugar to make a butterfly pea flower simple syrup. I use it in my "magic margaritas" by adding an oz of the simple and 2 oz of tequila into a rocks glass and in a sidecar I add lemon and lime juice as well as triple sec. Take it to the table and it makes for a wonderful tableside presentation turning from deep blue to bright pink with a simple pour and stir! Magical!!! It reacts with anything acidic to make for a neat color changing effect.
