As others have suggested, this blend gets super high presentation points but is scant on flavor. A stronger pop of lemon or a burst of something distinctive like a yunnan noir might make this one rock. Otherwise, it's a novelty purchase for me... once in a blue moon indeed *but drank even less often.
I love the blue color. I actually prefer to drink it cold. I can smell the blueberry but i do not really taste them. Cool as the tea is to look at, its more of a fancy lemon grass tea to me.
I was so stoked to try this one after I saw it was an exclusive 'blue moon' blend you could only get during a blue moon.
The blue color of this tea is so exquisite and it just has this amazing flavor I can't really describe. It's very herbal and citrusy, but has something else to it...? It's definitely one you want to drink when you want something more 'extra' than a standard cup of herbal tea.
Light lemongrass flavor, with that amazing blue from the butterfly pea.
Soft and lightly sweet, with just enough of a blueberry flavor. Won't overpower the pallet, though the indigo-blue color is shocking at first, it only vaguely stains the tongue. What a treat!
The color is nice, but the flavor isn't quite the best.
I love the color- it’s beautiful! Admittedly, I don’t have the most sensitive sense of taste, but this tea is really, really mild. I like it made super strong, sweetened, and cold.
Very light and refreshing over ice; surprisingly delicious hot with a touch of Truvia. I prefer to add a little extra tea to the steep, which yields a more intense flavor as well as a beautiful deep blue glass of tea.
My husband loves this tea iced! So I will buy as much as i can every time it becomes available!
A good tea tea for those who enjoy more herbal blends. I did have to give this tea to my friend in the end because it just wasn't for me in the end.
I could mostly taste lemongrass, hardly any blueberry... It's mostly the novelty factor of the butterfly pea flowers that led me to buy some of this.
Super fun tea! I love the colors. Tasty with lime.
Update #2: Having a clear pitcher of this in the fridge is definitely fun. Just add a little lemon juice to each cup after pouring one. Love it.
Update: I was able to make a second brew, and I’m having so much fun with this, I’ve bumped it to 5 stars. Really happy I ordered a bag of this now.
This tea is a lot of fun, tastes nice cold-brewed, with or without lemon juice. I usually dislike tea with lemongrass in it, but this one wasn’t overpowered by it, and I quite like it.
Has anyone mentioned this tastes like fruit loops? It does!! Haha this is a fun tea, very pretty, mine is more of a green-blue but that might be based on how many flowers you use. A nice nighttime tea!
I love this tea! I wished they offered this all the time. It s decaf and tastes like heaven! I use a tea bag and steep for 10 minutes. It smells wonderful and it s actually decaf! Some teas are decaf and I get jittery but not this one!
I bought the magic set and it truly is as magical one would expect it to be.
i did NOT order enough of this to last until the next blue moon. :( this is a gorgeous tea. light and delicate, lemon grass-y and lightly fruity. and the color!
A beautiful tea that is a joy to watch as it releases its blue indigo color. The flavor is subtle, but is brought out with a small amount of honey or lemon. I shared a bag with a friend and she was saddened that more would not be forthcoming for another two years. Good things come to those who wait.
Absolutely beautiful tea. The scent is very soothing and the flavor is wonderful. I was unsure about this tea bc I’m not a huge earl grey fan but I will be ordering this tea again as soon as it’s available.
Delicate, summery, and gorgeous. What more could you want?
it was very lemony and could barely taste the blueberry
This tea is just plain fun. Beautiful blue tea that turns to purple when lemon juice is added. Pleasant lemon flavor with a hint of blueberry.
Been waiting to buy this tea for a while and I have to say, it's worth the wait and experience you get from it! The tea leaves create a deep blue color and the taste is a mild lemongrass flavor.
Trying this for the first time I was honestly expecting it to be mostly a noveltie tea with the blue to purple color changing magic of science. Admittedly this is very cool and fun but I was also pleasantly surprised by the flavor as well. A very pleasant lemon balm flavor with just a hint of blueberry. I would highly recommend enjoying this tea iced on a hot summer night under the full more. Or any other time you feel like a refreshing, calming tea.
This was everything I was hoping it would be. Beautiful flavor, the perfect balance of blueberry and lemongrass.
I love, love this tea. It’s best cold brewed overnight with a teaspoon of rock sugar and squeeze of lemon. Could drink this everyday
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TREAT TEA! I really wish it was available year round, but that’s why we are allowed to stock up on it! Such a light flavor and it’s great for those stormy days!
Well worth the wait. Bright lemongrass flavor, beautiful indigo color. A delightful treat before bed.
Brewed this tea for the first time today. I overloaded the tea by brewing up double the amount of tea per the volume of water (2 tbsp per 8 oz instead of 1 tbsp). I found the the to be a bit subdued in flavor until I added just a touch of simple sugar, that really brought out the blueberry and lemon notes. The flavor and the scent was the strongest with just that hint of simple syrup and after the tea had cooled down to 'easy sipping' hot.I added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to watch the color change. It was fun but I prefer the flavor without the added lemon juice. I plan to try a longer brewing time and adding honey next time around.
All in all, a tasty tea.
Most fun I've been able to have with my younger sister who's normally not into tea.
Delicious! However, I get no blueberry in this at all, only the initial smell in the bag. Once brewed, It's mostly just lemongrass that turns blue. Still delicious. I mixed this with the green rooibos blueberry to get more of that blueberry, it was also delicious. I only tried this iced. Very refreshing, very good. Would recommend if you like lemongrass, the blue just makes this more fun!
It’s so lovely and light. I’ll definitely have to savor it for as long as I can. I did add a little extra blueberry from another tea I have just because I loooove blueberry, but I adore bella Luna blue so much.
Love this tea and the color is so pretty and only availble during a blue moon :)
Absolutely amazing!!! Ugh I love this tea!! I just got it today and just HAD to brew some
The blue color was even more brilliant than I expected! I can't wait to share with my friends.
I'm not usually a fan of herbal tea, and especially not lemongrass, but I bought my first bag a penultimate blue moon ago because I wanted to try peaflower tea and the Bella Luna Blue was the cheapest and most accessible way to. Boy am I glad I did! I just rebought the tea this past blue moon a few days ago, I couldn't risk running out! The tea has a beautiful fruity flavor that is present but not overwhelming. When you add lemon juice it holds up rather well against the strong flavor that comes with adding as much lemon as you need to to change it from blue to pink. I especially love that it's equally as tasty hot or iced. I love drinking it 'blue' as a hot tea and making various mixed drinks with it iced with lemon, but even just by itself it makes a perfect and refreshing iced tea for the dog days of summer. If you have any hesitancies about buying this tea, don't worry. It is worth every penny.
I can only handle lemongrass in small doses for some reason. I don’t mind it in the background in blends but wouldn’t drink it plain. So this is very lemongrass-forward, but it still works thanks to the blueberry flavor. I can’t drink it every day, but that’s okay since I want to save it for special occasions anyway. But the color is amazing. Such a fun tea experience! 🤩 🌝 🦋 Steeped 5 mins @ 212°
I enjoy this tea both for the lovely lemongrass flavor and for the novelty. This one is good both hot and cold. It tends to be very light if done as per directions so I tend to be a little heavy handed with the tea to get more flavor out of it. I also add a touch of sweetener to bring out the blueberry. I love adding this to lemonade and to other teas. It’s so much fun to be able to drink your experiments.
Nice herbal tea that is better cold than hot. Strong lemongrass flavor and is a refreshing summer drink.
This was a good tea, the blueberry and lemongrass were delicious. The real star of the show is the butterfly pea though, which gave a beautiful almost navy blue to my first cup and a royal blue to the second.
BEAUTIFUL INDIGO COLORING!! Just as mystical as the moon appears, as does this tea. The blueberry flavoring is comforting. The lemongrass gives me this sense of a hug as I glance into the night sky, watching the beauty that illuminates the night time. Simply wonderful❤️
How fun! Great tea for those of us that have kids and like to experiment with our food and drinks. Love watching the color changes and how each steep is a different color. We have a bag of pea flowers so we experiment with them often in food and drinks.
The tea is right in my flavor wheelhouse. I love citrusy teas. This tea is a wonderful lemon tea that is so comforting. The blueberry is mild, but comes forward a bit more with honey and as it cools. I tried some iced and really enjoyed it. I was so sad when my cup was gone. Steeped 212° for 7 mins. Able to steep x2 with 2nd steep a bit weaker, but still enjoyable.
I didn't like the smell of the dry ingredients, so that had me worried, but it smelled and tasted great after steeping. I love the blueberry and lemon flavor combo.
I really love the lemongrassy flavor of this tea! I think perhaps some dried blueberries would help with the blueberry flavor but the novelty and taste is worth it for a special occasion. The color changes will never get old!
This was so much fun and delicious. Next step is to buy some for me and my friends.
I’ve actually tasted this tea back in 2019 sometime and failed to write a review. So I kinda know what to expect.
What a great way to celebrate a second October full Blue Moon and Halloween all at the same time! To top it off, Mars will be nearby in the sky. Everybody was present in my communTEA packet and “raring to go!” Heavy duty lemongrass and mild blueberry aromas were noted.
Considering Butterfly Tea Flower really doesn’t have much taste, I figured I’d be reviewing a blue colored lemongrass/blueberry tea. Drank my brew in my usual clear “i ❤️ adagio” 12 oz mug for the full blueness effect. Tasting notes: Had to wait until the tea was warm to taste the flavors. I added some sugar to sweeten the lemon flavors and possibly bring the blueberry forward some. When warm, a thick and smooth sweet lemon mouthfeel was noted. A mild, but pleasant sour zing was present, possibly provided by the blueberry flavoring. Blueberry tastes were rather mild, though.
I decided not to add any lemon to watch it turn purple ... I’m not a purple fan. Thanks for a very nice basically novelty lemony tea drink. The trick-or-treaters will be howling at the moon tonight! Happy Halloween! (7 mins @ 212F, 1/2 tsp sugar)
This tea isn't just a tea; it's a whole entire experience. It is visually stunning, of course, but also the lemongrass-blueberry combo is among my favorites. I heard through the grapevine that the blueberry can sometimes get overwhelmed by the lemongrass, so I proactively added some dried blueberries. I do not regret this decision! I loved the extra juiciness of the additional blueberries. This might go down as one of my favorite tisanes!
As far as appearance this tea is stunning! The colors are very pretty either when blue or adding the lemon for the purple effect. As far as taste goes I could use something stronger. Maybe next time I try I’ll add a small bit of sweetness and see if that brings out more flavor.
Mild tea with lemongrass flavor and fabulous blue color. Special treat to relax and enjoy.
A very pretty tea and it's fun to watch the color change when lemon juice is added. I only taste the lemon grass. It sort of reminds me of Alka Seltzer when plain. I like it alright with lemon juice and sweetener added but it's not one that I see myself buying.
