Amazing. Turns purple with lemon added. Amaze your friends with the magic of the peony flower!
3/18/22: Remains to be a good tea. I feel like a mad scientist everytime I brew it. Fantastic for spring/summer sipping. Good cold, luke warm, or hot.
A little over hyped. great color that's neat. Not that special
It is a pretty blue, but changes to a beautiful color when lemon is added. I won't spoil the surprise, but it isn't green!. I bought several to give as gifts. I highly recommend this tea!
A little bitter (Could also be the lemon juice :)) but so pretty in the cup!
I love the taste of this, and the color is gorgeous.
Love this tea. Perfect herbal tea for when I want a little magic.
I really love how this tea is actually blue and you can make it purple by changing the acidity. However, it was a little too lemony for me. I enjoy it as a novel-tea, but not an everyday tea.
Excellent tea, interesting color change with addition of lemon.
I like the addition of the lemongrass to add interest to the butterfly pea flowers, which - though beautiful to steep and a great visual experience - I personally find lacking in flavor.
I love the novelty of this brew! This tea is purple in color and tastes very sweet. This is my favorite tea to have during play tea-time with my young daughter.
Very simple tea with the lemongrass and butterfly peaflower
Intray enjoyed this tea. It was over sweet and the color is so fun. I actually made this a cold tea as well.
A very nice subtle flavor and a very pretty tea to look at. It has a nice calming smell and lemonlike taste. A rare occasion I pull it out to make it last, but it makes the tea feel a bit more special.
This tea tastes like Trix cereal, but if you ate it with water instead of milk. You would think, hearing that, that it’s gross and bad. Not so, it actually works out exceptionally well for a tea. I’m only a little bummed I can only get it once a year. @adagioteas
Still love this tea; the flavor is light and delicate. I actually prefer it as iced tea.
one of my favorite teas. i love the color it changes when adding lemon, and it tastes so so good
This is a really nice blend. The flavor is good and the cor is gorgeous.
This has become my new favorite tea and I only wish I'd ordered more. Having to wait for the next round of tea means I'll be hoarding the bags I bought like some kind of tea dragon. Not to diminish the wonder of this deeply colored tea, but it's almost like fruity pebbles cereal. I have usually kept enjoying the tea without any additional fuss, but have tried a splash of lemon (for a fun surprise effect, if you've not yet experienced this). I look forward to the next time I can buy this blend again!
A unique flavor and striking color although the flavor is weak. Even adding additional tea to the brew, it is still pretty weak.
Very light and floral. I usually steep this tea for 10 to 15 minutes. Cant wait to get more!
I love this tea! Especially iced! Turns a bright blue!
Adored this tea! Beautiful fresh flavor, and stunning colors (both with and without the lemon). Totally fun, and will definitely buy again.
This tea is so cool! I bought it for the color but it tastes so good!
This is an amazing tea! I brew the tea at a high temperature but then put it in the fridge for ice tea. It is so smooth and light. I love this tea so much! Too bad it is only available during a new moon.
Wanted to try this one and thought that since I enjoyed the Earl Gray Bella Luna that I would like this one. It turned out to be a dud for me but not every tea is going to appeal to my senses. If it had a little something more with it I think I would have enjoyed it.
to tell the truth, the taste and flavor this herbal tea is very mediocre, but the transformation of the color of the tea in the brewing process is pure magic. If you brew this tea in a transparent glass teapot, then your whole family will be fascinated to watch the transformation of the magic tea first from pale blue to intense blue, then into dark blue, and then if you add 1-3 teaspoons of lemon juice to the tea, it will instantly change color to purple. I think this tea is a great choice for a Christmas tea party when it s time for miracles. So I bought 2 bags of this tea - one for myself, and the second as a Christmas gift to my brother. @adagioteas
Light, refreshing, and a lot of fun to play with the colors!
It's mild so recommend that you use lemon. But good. Sometimes mild with a citrus zest is just the right thing. And with a free show.
My favorite late-night, relax-with-mellow-music tea. Manages to be delicate without tasting weak or watered down. The color-changing trick is charming but I rarely bother with it.
Do you want to be a wizard, Harry? Because this tea let's you be a wizard and that's all the reason you should need to get a pouch when it's available. Just have a light touch when adding the lemon, this tea has a delicate flavor that the lemon can easily overwhelm.
Smells and tastes light lemony. Of course, it's the color change that is center stage. Great in the clear glass tea pot for tea parties.
It is so fun to see it change color with lemon! I enjoy having herbal teas after work.
This tea is SO MUCH FUN! I have never heard of the Butterfly Pea Flower plant until I was introduced to it by Adagio. I immediately ordered it on the night of a blue moon. I caught myself playing around with the tea as if it were some sort of a science experiment rather than a drink before I even tasted it. It is so cool to see the tea shift from dark blue to light pink so quickly. The tea itself is delicious - I also would say the flavor is primarily blueberry. The scent reminds me of Fruity Pebbles cereal.

Wow! So unique and delicious. Lemony flavors and the color is beautiful.
It’s pretty, but I wasn’t blown away by the taste. I. Not really inspired to drink it when I’m not playing with the color.
This tea is so fun! I went the full 10 minutes, since I love a lot of flavor in my teas. A fun almost lemon-blueberry tea that's actually blue! What a clever idea. Cold, it's like a cool indigo-blue lemonade!
A very mild but pleasant blueberry flavor. I make lemonade ice cubes and let them melt in the tea to change the color, otherwise the lemonade will completely hide the flavor of the tea. I hate that it's only offered once a year (if even) because now I'll have to find something similar from a different company.
My husband calls this my magic potion tea. It’s refreshing, and I can’t help but smile when I look at it. I only drink it in glass teacups.
What a fun tea with a beautiful blue color! Nice subtle taste.
Very unique naturally sweet tea! Add the reminder to get this in the short window you can.
So delicious and fun to watch. Wish it was available more often.
This was such a special blend, I had to have it and it did not disappoint.
Very fun tea, adding lemon will change the color but definitely makes it super tart. I’d recommend trying this tea for sure!
Amazing! Wish it was available more than once in a blue moon!
I knew the moment I had my first sip I was going to regret not investing in a bigger bag--especially because this one only comes by, well, 'once in a blue moon!' It's deeply juicy and refreshing with the rustic sweetness of lemongrass interweaving the blueberry notes. It's a perfect midnight tea and never fails to put me in a calming, whimsical headspace. I'm glad I stocked up on this one so I have plenty to last me until next time!
I'm a little sad that I don't like this one better, because the blue colour is really novel and super fun. However, I'm afraid the lemongrass just doesn't provide a solid enough base for any flavours to hold- and combined with the cloyingly sweet bubblegum-like scent that comes off both the leaves and the tea, this is sadly far from my favourite blend.
I love this tea! It's uniquely beautiful but equally as tasty!
I wish I hadn't bought this. I wish I didn't know how delicious this tea is given how rarely it is available to purchase. It's so very good and such a gorgeous color when steeped. I recommend anyone try it who gets a chance with a warning...if you get this you too will know the pain of having to wait for a blue moon to try this blend again.
Lovely color, okay taste. Fun treat due to the limited nature!
This tea does its job - it's tart, fruity, and very beautifully blue. Four stars since it's not a particularly remarkable blend, but the blueberry-lemongrass combo is still very pleasant.
