I love this tea but I was hoping for more of a blueberry flavor... The blue color is lovely.

I love this tea but I was hoping for more of a blueberry flavor... The blue color is lovely.
I always buy this tea to share with friends and its so so good! one of my favorite things is drinking this with some of my homemade sugar cookies
Loved this tea. From the color changing ability to the subtle blueberry flavor. Cant wait to get more in and try it iced.
I look forward to getting this tea each Blue Moon. Not only does it taste like the perfect mix of sweet and floral, it's also blue! I am fond of mixing it with lemonade (for a surprising new color) and drinking it as a cold tea. It's also great hot.
Both dry and brewed, the lemongrass aroma was strongest, but I could also smell gentle blueberry aromas. I waited until the vibrant blue tea cooled to warm, took a taste, and then added lemon juice and a tiny bit of honey which brought out a mild but identifiable blueberry flavor. I enjoyed this one warm and iced, and the lemon juice color change effect was really fun! There was also a very subtle, sort of earthy note that might have been from the butterfly pea flower, not sure. I regularly drink a few different lemongrass teas and also love blueberry, so this was a shoe in with me. Definitely going to be adding this to my collection! So glad to be doing CommuniTEA during a month with a blue moon. :)
Anything with butterfly peaflowers is fun for the blue color and magic color change ability when you lower the pH, but this tea is also tasty on its own. Lemongrass and blueberry are a great flavor pairing.
Part of the October 2020 CommuniTEA box. Tangy sweet, and a beautiful blue. This tea is truly magical!
Amazing! Others said that this tastes like fruity pebbles and they were right. It is so good! My husband, who thinks I have too much tea, told me that I should 'hurry up and place my order!” I liked it better when out lemon juice, but the color change was so fun!
It had a pleasant, mild blueberry and lemongrass flavor. The blue color was absolutely fabulous. My only regret is that I didn't have any lemon to make the tea change colors.
I tried steeping it again to get as much enjoyment out of it as I could. It still had a nice blue color, but the flavor was pretty weak.
Love it. Very fun tea to try. I added ice and lemonade and it tastes great
This tea is delicious! Lemony. Perfect sweetened with honey. And, it's gorgeous!
Very light, but had a nice taste and a magical feel to it.
the blue color is so fun! enjoyed hot and really tasted the lemongrass!
Receiving this tea on Halloween as part of the communiTea was perfect. My table looked like a mad science lab as I pour this into all the clear cups I had so that I may get one a video of the color changing and two. So I may taste this with or without the added lemon juice. I steeped this for a good 10 minutes. When I first opened the package and while it steeped I could smell the blueberries. Prior to added the lemon juice, I could also taste the blueberries. I did add a little sugar which enhanced the blueberry flavor. My bag had very little lemon grass so the lemongrass flavor was not as present as I would have liked. In my other two cups I added lemon juice. I really enjoyed watching the tea change colors. A little magic can not help but brighten up a day! Unfortunately, I probably added too much lemon juice. As now my cup was very tart. That said it was also still very good, But sugar was a must. Over all I will say I enjoyed the Bella Luna Blue, enough to order a bag and will probably be sorry I did not order more than one. Actually I ordered the set. So I am excited to get inguenuiTEA Teapot and a new glass mug. :0)
This makes a great iced tea. Light and refreshing. It's a gorgeous blue color. The addition of lemon not only turns it purple, but also adds a great pop of flavor.
This is a good, light tea. I really like the lemongrass flavor
It was a fun interactive tea, I loved it. The flavor wasn’t exciting but with lime juice it was good and it turned it purple. This isn’t a tea I would crave, but it definitely was fun.
Love this tea. I like to mix it with my blueberry and white blueberry teas. The color is fun to play with.
Amazing way to end October's CommuniTEA. I enjoyed the combination in this one, not too much lemongrass. I only found out about the color changing magic afterwards so darn.
I’m just not as into this as most people. It tastes like lemon popcorn to me. I like it a little better cold-brewed than hot. The color and the color-changing is fun though.
I’m so glad that this was today’s CommuniTEA sample. I had already planned to order a couple of packets just to try it. But after tasting and falling in love with this tea (and yes! About halfway through I added a couple of drops of lemon juice and it was brilliant!) I ended up ordering 12 pouches just to get me through to 2023 and the next blue moon!
The last day of my communiTEA week was fabulous! Bella Luna Blue is a butterfly pea flower and lemongrass tea with blueberry flavor. If you add lemon juice to butterfly pea flower, it changes from blue to a bright magenta-purple! It's magic. I really love lemongrass, so I knew I would love this tea. I think it's great without the added lemon. Lemon gives it a more summer feeling. I smell the blueberry, but I don't taste much of it.
I used a tiny teapot, so I did 3 infusions (2 for 5 minutes each, the last for 10 minutes, 212°). The first was super robust, the second was much lighter, the third with mostly just lemongrass. I'm really glad I've already ordered a bag of this to experiment with! I think it was a good marketing plan to have this as the communiTEA the only day it's available (only on the blue moon, 2nd full moon in a calendar month), so big thumbs up to whoever came up with that idea!
Very fun tea. The color change aspects are a blast, and I liked the lemony taste of this one. I didn't really notice any blueberry taste, but that might come out better if cold-brewed.
To me the taste is all lemongrass but that is ok because the beautiful blue azure color is why I purchased this tea. Added a couple sugar cubes to sweeten it up. Delish! 🌙
Don't miss out on this one! It is only available once in a blue moon!
I would say most of the flavor comes from the lemongrass, but the blueberry swoops in at the end for a nice finish. The color change is really fun for my kids... and me.
I never got this tea before because I worried it was all gimmick, but it tastes so fruity and delicious.
Visually this was stunning. Lemongrass had me skeptical but it was not overwhelming and quite lovely. Added a bit white sugar first steep and it was divine.
10 min @ 200
Glad we ended October CommuniTEA on a winner for me.
Obsessed. I just stocked up with a 6 pack for the year! Hope it lasts me!
Such unusual color, great taste and MAGIC - just add a few drops of lemon juice!
So it's basically just lemongrass, which I really like anyway, but I gotta give it credit for presentation. I didn't get any blueberry flavor unfortunately, that would complement the lemon so well and round it out to be a bit fuller.
Although to be fair, you could just buy butterfly pea flowers separately right here on Adagio's pantry list and add them to any tea...just sayin'.
I stepped this for the full 10 minutes and this was DELICIOUS. The color was striking, the aroma was fantastic; I love that lemony smell. This was a really lovely blend and I can see why it's so popular! I can't wait to get the order I just made so I can have more!
The flavor is lemony. But that's not the reason you bought this tea, is it? You got it because you're a goblin whose little heart got three times bigger when you watched the tea turn bright blue. Make sure you have some lemon juice/an actual lemon so you can see it turn purple! I absolutely love this tea. It makes me so happy to see the colors, and I find the lemony blueberry flavor to be quite summery and refreshing. A magical tea for every day!
Subtle flavors that are great to enjoy at any time. I prefer mine with lemon added.
This is a super fun tea! I love the (changing) color of it and it has a light blueberry flavor to it. I think the novelty of the color of it is better than the taste, but I enjoy the flavor of it nonetheless!
I love how it turns blue and the flavor is just wonderful
I wasn’t expecting to love this one (I don’t always love lemongrass), but it’s got a nice balance. It does kind of taste like fruit loops, as someone pointed out, but I kind of like that!
The color of this tea is amazing, and it's fun to see how it changes when you add some lemon juice, but it tastes bland.
This lemongrass tea is fun, changing the color from blue to purple with the addition of lemon juice. The lemongrass is the dominant flavor with a subtle fruit underneath. Good hot or cold, it is definitely worth a try.
Wonderful tea! I can't wait to order it in August.
Accidentally put egg nog in mine BUT from what I could taste it was a very nice blend. I usually don't like lemon grass but this wasn't too bad at all. Plus the beautiful blue hue in my cup was just delightful!!
Bold tea with a lemon flavor that is not overpowering. A hit of blueberry that can be enhanced with a touch of fruit honey. Great tea!
What a frightfully delightful way to end the month of October! While this tea only comes around once in a blue moon..it's a must have for your tea cupboard. The blueberry lemon grass combo is so unique and refreshing...oh and don't be scared by the blue color!
I liked this one, and I'll be honest, I drank it yesterday because I wanted to place an order, so I wanted to see if I was going to wait another day to purchase this one. I decided not to purchase it for a couple of reasons, but it was a good tea. I think the biggest reason I would purchase it would be the color... oh, novelty. I drank half of the cup hot, and was surprised that the flavor wasn't very intense. I like my lemongrass to kick me in the face. I did add stevia and lemon juice (and let the kids watch... got some oohs and ahhs.) For some reason, the tea sat on the counter for the rest of the day with the steeping bag in it, and after everyone went to bed it sat there looking at me, so I decided to try it before I poured it down the drain, and WOW! It tastes really good cold and steeped all day, so now I'm left debating if I'm going to make another order today just so I can have it iced... Thanks Adagio.
So for a quick review, I did not like this tea hot, but I loved it cold, steeped all day.
I was excited to finally try this and it did not disappoint! Tasted like fruit loops and even more so with milk. The beautiful color was an added bonus!
This tea is cool to look, and fun to play with, but I have to be in a mood for lemongrass if I want some because that's all I taste. For my Communitea day, I mixed my sachet with a heaping teaspoon of raspberry patch and let it go at boiling for 10 minutes. The results were amazing in terms of color. It's a deep purple color and wonderful on the eyes. However, the lemongrass is still very strong, but some of the berry is peeking through with the addition of some fruit tisane honey!
This was refreshing for a decaf. I can taste the lemongrass and other flavors.
I mostly taste the lemongrass, witg a slight blueberry aftertaste. But the blue color surprised me! Definitely need to drink this in a clear glass mug!
Lemongrass for daaaaays! This is an amazing tea if you love lemongrass and blueberry. And it’s blue!
I am over the moon for this tea! I always try to buy some when it come up, but this year was a long wait! I bought enough to last well into the next blue moon. Refreshing, I prefer this tea iced and lightly sweetened.
