Bella Luna Blue Customer Reviews

I hadn’t tried Bella Luna Blue before today’s CommuniTEA and truthfully I was not sure what the fuss was about. I’ve had lemongrass, butterfly pea flower is consistently available… but this was a very pleasant surprise, not what I was expecting! The lemon is mellow and sweet. There is no actual blueberry included but the blueberry flavoring is perfect. Then of course there’s the gimmick: color-changing tea. This goes through various shades of blue while steeping, light teal to deep sapphire, and adding citrus like lemon or lime will yield further dramatic changes to purple. Absolutely beautiful and a fun celebration of a fairly rare occasion!

This herbal is easy to drink and easy on the eyes. The lemongrass and blueberry combo make it perfect as an iced tea. Add lemon for a nice magical trick that will dazzle your friends 😊 This one is refreshing, fruity, and fun! Happy Sipping!

Lovely deep blue color. Scent is wonderful! And a sweet, refreshing blueberry taste with a hint of lemongrass. Smooth and satisfying. So glad I ordered extra to make this last as long as possible since I can't order more til 2020!
8/22/2021 - ordered some more Blue! Love, love love this tea! The color is fun & lemongrass tastes SO good! I do wish they had a tin for it though! Maybe next blue moon there will be a tin? Please??? :)

Beautiful blue color and definitely worth trying at least once, but has a bit too much lemongrass for me.

What a fun tea ! You can only order it today and I think I will. The color is beautiful and really enjoyed the lemon grass flavor.

I love this tea more for its showiness than its flavor. It is bold blue in color and tastes mostly like lemongrass with a hint of blueberry. I like to keep this on hand for when kids visit. It makes a great iced tea that can be enhanced with other fruit.

I have been waiting for this tea to be available since late 2020. Dry tea mostly smells of blueberry, since lemongrass tends to not smell like itself until after brewed. Once brewed, the resulting cup is an eye-catching blue. When hot, mild blueberry notes mingle with the spice of the lemongrass in the finish. Adding lemon to the brewed cup turns the dark blue into a purple, and obviously increases the lemon flavor in the cup. I have combined lemongrass and butterfly pea flower before, but the addition of blueberry rounds out the flavors a bit and gives it a nice sweetness. Also works well iced, although I would recommend using some boiling water for a few minutes to get the lemongrass to a nice flavor profile and then icing rather than cold-brewing, which does not extract as much lemongrass flavor from my experience. Brewed at 212 for 5 minutes.

This tea is all about the novelty but it's so fun, who cares? Blue tea? Blue tea that turns purple when you add citrus? Who can resist the delight?Not me! The taste itself is a light lemongrass with a hint of blueberry. I find it's much more delicious with a monkfruit sweetener addition. Butterfly pea flower is quite the sensation these days and I'll stick around for the show. Happy Sipping!

I love the look of this tea and the color-changing properties of the butterfly pea flower pigment. However, the flavor is light and not particularly interesting, so this isn't one I'd purchase. I'd rather just buy the flowers and play with those! (5 mins @ 212 F, 2 drops EZ-Sweetz)

Very lemongrass flavor so if you like lemon grass you will love it! The color makes this tea so fun!

Fun blue color! Tastes deliciously like lemongrass. I don’t think I can detect any blueberry, but I’m not missing it.

This tea is as pretty as it is pleasant to drink. The flavor itself is very light, so I’d recommend dropping the tea to water ratio if you’re looking for a more impactful taste. My preferred additions are 3 drops of lemon juice to bring it to a bright sapphire color, and about a 1/4 tsp of truvia.

YUM! What an absolutely delightful tea. Adagio CommuniTEA continues to surprise me. I'm usually less than enthusiastic about the herbal teas, but this one has such a beautiful balance of delightful flavors I can't help but enjoy it.

This is a very refreshing tea, and honestly, the novelty of the color just makes it fun to drink. It’s a lot more subtle than I had anticipated, but still worth the wait.

This tea is so much fun to play with and the colors you can achieve are beautiful. If this review was based on science, I would give it 5+ stars. At the end of the day, this is tea and I find I am not a fan of lemongrass. The flavor is lighter and I didn't really pick up on blueberry which may be due to the single portion Communitea packet. Fun tea to play with, just not my cup of tea to drink.

The color is the best part of this tea--it really is stunning! I thought my tongue would be blue from drinking it, but that doesn't seem to be the case, which is nice. I like lemongrass, but I wish I could taste more blueberry in this tea. I tasted it before I added lime juice and still did not detect much blueberry. Maybe it's my CommuniTea packet.

Sipping along with the CommuniTEA: Tart red fruit notes noticed from the dry ingredients and packet. Once steeped for 7 minutes at 212° F, I noticed a striking deep, dark aqua blue liquid with subtle notes of lemon grass in my cup. When I take a sip, I am greeted with subtle tart berry flavor, followed by very present lemongrass/lemon balm balanced out with a light sweetness. There is a hint of earthy herbaceousness on the finish. Interestly good cup, worth the wait.

(2020) Well, I didn't think the mailman would deliver this on time with yesterday's weather here in Oklahoma. I did have fun playing with the color changing while I got the day off from work. I made three cups: one with nothing added; one with lime added; and one with brown sugar added. With me just use to drinking straight tea, my favorite is the one with nothing added (just blue). If I could, I could buy and gift to my daughter's science teachers, but I missed that boat. I'd probably forget that idea for Halloween 2020 knowing how much money I put in for candy, pumpkins, and gourds. UPDATE: Apologies. I've since found the tea to be overrated. It was four stars when I first rated it.

UPDATE: The CommuniTea packet has such beautiful ingredients with the lovely butterfly pea flower and the ample lemongrass.

8/26/20 The blue color of this tea, from the Butterfly Pea Flower, is one of the best things about it. The fact that it is caffeine free, is the second. Lastly, it is a special treat since you can only buy it on days of a blue moon! Flavor wise I find this tea way too weak for my pleasure, however, adding lemon juice (which changes the blue color to purple!! seriously, how cool is that?) helping bring out the blueberry and lemon grass flavor.. It turns into a delicious ice tea, especially after I add 1/4 teaspoon of stevia sweetener to 10 oz of tea, and a little lemon juice. I am glad I bought this tea, as I plan to experiment by adding it to other teas. Plus, as an ice tea, I can drink it anytime! (10 mins @ 212°F)

I look forward to this every year! Such a good tea for iced tea or for an afternoon/evening cup to relax. The blueberry flavor is so pleasant with the refreshing lemongrass. The color makes me happy :)

Updated: Really enjoy having this light tea and the color is the best part. I love sharing this tea with visitors, everyone seems to like the flavor and especially the color changing effects. I get to act out the mad scientist part adding the lemon to it Buhuhahaha. The lemongrass gives it a mellow lemony flavor. A refreshing cup of tea.
Old review.This very light refreshing lemony tea is a hoot! Fun to watch the violet color infuse into the tea. Love it as an iced tea.

This is a fun tea! And the gimmick of only being available on a Blue Moon, is priceless! This tea is a very pretty blue (or purple if you add a few drops of lemon juice), and has a nice lemony flavor from the lemongrass.

Light, bright, and refreshing! Lemongrass and berries make for a delicious blend. Add in the magic of a beautiful blue purple hue, and it’s magic!

I like this one, it’s got a lot of lemongrass, and is great chilled with lemon juice.

Electric blue tea with a tart lemon taste that becomes deliciously citrusy when sweetened. The blueberry flavor is eclipsed by the plentiful lemongrass. No matter, the taste of the tea once sweetened to elevate the best of the lemon flavor sent me to the moon and back. The butterfly pea flowers are adorable blue fan shaped flowers that deliver the beautiful indigo shade that makes this tea special and fun.

I had a mere 1 g but 3 full tsp of light airy green lemongrass with 4 butterfly pea flowers in my CT packet. I brewed 12 oz. for 6 min. at 212*F and loved watching the beautiful blue color develop in the tea. The first taste was tart and I added some agave to tame the sharp flavor. A resteep of 5 oz. took almost 25 minutes to revive the bright blue color with the lemon flavor much subdued. Chilled, the lemon flavor stayed strong and the blueberry flavor remained hidden. I loved this tea for the color and the lemon flavor. Sipping it from a glass mug made it extra delightful. I’m stocking up now so I don’t run out before the next blue moon.

I can taste the lemongrass and butterfly pea flower, and didn't taste any blueberry. It still tastes great! I added a little lemon juice and this tea turned a deep purple color.

Okay. So. The tea is gorgeous. In the bag and brewed. It smells great but every single time I drink it I am reminded of Trix cereal, which I haven't eaten since I was a kid. It's been 18 years since I've had Trix cereal so you can imagine the sort of nostalgia I'm hit with every time I brew a cup of this. I primarily taste the lemon. I quite enjoy it. The tea is a radiant deep blue (brew it in a clear cup for awesomest viewing pleasure). Add lemon to turn it purple. Pretty cool, my dudes. There's also something to be said for a tea you can only purchase during a blue moon. Makes it all the more exciting. An update: This is a tea I like to drink when I feel I have a lot of inflammation. It seems to help.

I love the flavor & color changing of this tea. Try pouring fresh steeped tea over fresh pineapple for a real treat.

This tea is so wonderful! Very blue, you almost have to half steep it or it gets too dark. I also tried this mixed with my favorite jasmine, very nice together!

Great. I love the blue color of the tea when you steep it. The tea has a different flavor. I have never tried or tasted butterfly pea flower so this tea was interesting to try! I think it is better as iced tea.

To be perfectly honest, this tea is 5 stars because it's blue AND it stays blue through multiple steeps.

Opening the bag (or the jar I put it in), I am struck by the blueberry flavor added. And a slight hint of the lemongrass. The butterfly pea flower is there for color, not scent.

Taste-wise, this is really mostly lemongrass and blueberry. Good for a nightcap or a children's tea party. Nothing offensive, mostly comforting... The big draw for it shall always be the color of the tea.

Updated on May 25th to add:

I've found myself making this a lot as an iced tea. With just a dab of honey to sweeten it, it works delightfully as a summer treat.

This is such a pretty tea, with a delicate, sweet flavor. It's not a tea I find myself reaching for every night, but when I am wanting something a little extra, I really enjoy this tea. I think it would be so good iced, but haven't tried that yet!

What can I say, it's blue! I'd definitely use this one to mix with other flavors to do the hue some justice as the taste is just lemon grass and blueberry.

Not really a fan, but in its defense, I did not realize that it is a herbal tea and I am generally not a fan of herbals.

I have been WAITING for this tea to come back out. I tried it at my friend's house for the first time, and I instantly wanted to buy some. This tea is great hot and cold. A wonderful blend of lemongrass and slight sweetness. The color is also amazing. Buy this tea, you won't regret it.
