This is a fun tea that I like to drink in the summer. It has a strong lemongrass flavor with a hint of blueberry and butterfly pea. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice turns this to a deep purple.

A nice tea, but definitely not my favorite. The flavor is too light, and it needs sweetener.

This is a fun tea...but can't say I love it. I usually serve it as a novelty to my kiddos with a lemon wedge for color change fun!

I love the color, fragrance and taste of this tea! Very relaxing and enjoyable. I always feel like I'm getting a special treat when i brew this one -- such a pretty tea!

Visually stunning, sweet and floral. I enjoy it with lemon. Definitely a fun, special tea.

One of my all-time favorite teas! And not just for the fun color change, but because the taste is as unique as the color. I'm glad I bought it in bulk when it was last available. It's fantastic iced, too!

I've only been able to try this tea once at a friend's house. I was able to order some and I am so excited to drink more of this delicious tea!

Purchased mostly for the novelty of pea flower tea, but overall it is actually quite tasty - lightly blueberry flavored, it tastes really good as an arnold palmer

Bought it for the color. The taste was pretty meh, and not something I'd seek out again, but it looked pretty in the glass.

It's all right, but not anything I would go out of my way to purchase (especially since Adagio now sells loose bags of butterfly peaflowers). The color is very fun, though, and the flavor is nice!

Delicious tea...my granddaughter loves it too. I can't wait for it to come out again so that I can buy enough to last to the next 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!

This tea is always a huge hit with hesitant drinkers — something about the color is always enticing! Flavor-wise, pretty muted; it’s prettier than flavorful, but I add some honey and it’s a lovely cup anyways.

A fun “magic” tea. The color change aspect is fun to play with. Mostly I tasted the lemongrass in this tea.

I love this tea! One of my favorites! In the bag, blueberries and lemongrass. once brewed, it's mostly lemongrass, but it's blue! I tried this with the green rooibos blueberry to get more blueberry and it was very delicious. Definitely try this tea when you can!

Opening the bag, it has a nice lemon and blueberry scent. Light flavor and pretty blue color, but mostly tasted like lemon grass.
-

Tasty lemon and blueberry tea that's a brilliant shade of blue--until you add lemon juice and turn it a vibrant purple!
-
Shalei Benjamin
I'm so glad I bought this one. The Lemongrass blends perfectly with the blueberries and It's super fun adding lemon juice to it, which not only gives it a slight tart flavor, but also turns the tea pink or purple because of how the butterfly pea flower meshes with the acidity

Notes of blueberry and citrus compliment the floral/herbal flavors well. Not a daily tea, but nice for when I'm in the mood for it and my nices love the color

This is a very lemon tea. i dont mind that though. i mostly bought it for the color change

Opening the package smells like fruity pebbles. The sweet flavor is very welcome in the evening or afternoon when you don't need any extra caffeine, and my daughter loves to add lemon juice to watch it turn purple.

A tasty and gorgeous herbal! I love the deep blue color & the purple when it changes with lemon!
-
Cassandra Guild
I tasted more lemongrass than blueberry, but the color was very fun! If you add lemon, the tea will change color, too!
-
Dorothy Summey
Although the tea itself tastes mostly like lemongrass, the novelty of the beautiful blue/purple color incentivized me to make this purchase.

I love, love, love this tea! Whenever I go on vacation with the in-laws I always make sure to bring enough for two or three tea parties with my husband's much younger cousins. They love to watch me add the lime juice and swirl the spoon to unleash a beautiful color change in their cup of tea. I always make sure to bring my own glass mugs just in case the airbnb doesn't supply their own because you truly haven't experienced the color change until you've seen in it in a glass mug. Highly reccommended, if you somehow can't tell!

It's blue! What more could you possibly want? It tastes pretty good, too, if that's important to you lol.

Blue is my favorite color so when I learned there was a blue tea in existence I had to have it. Not only is it pretty from the Butterfly pea flowers, but it tastes great too! Blueberry Tea with refreshing lemongrass. Preferable as an iced tea, fun color changing magic. a decaf tea for anytime of day but this tea is available once in a blue moon (Oct 31st) Unless you earn the Blue Butterfly Badge then you can purchase it every full moon along with another favorite, Earl Grey Bella Luna. (10 minutes @ 212 degrees)

While the taste is soft and subtle, I love the magical feeling of the blue color.
-
Kimberly Hnatko
Most of the flavor comes from the lemongrass, but the blueberry swoops in at the end for a nice finish.
-

This was OK. I can taste the lemongrass and light berry like notes. Nice for a decaf.

A tea that tastes as good as it looks! It's fun to play with the color changes but it's also delicious! Hot or iced, you can't go wrong.

Rebecca Haley
I love the color of this tea. When first brewed it is a beautiful blue. Once I added some lemon it turned into a pretty purple. The flavor was pleasant, it was a good bedtime drink.

It’s a really cool tea for party tricks and cocktails, plus the flavor itself is rather nice.

The color of this tea is gorgeous! The taste however left much to be desired for me. My boyfriend took a sip and described it as tasting like fruity pebbles cereal. I think he was right. If you'd like that cereal as a tea this will be a 5 star tea for you.

Stephanie Hudson
I highly recommend this tea to every and anybody! I only bought one bag and was wishing that I bought more just after the first cup. First and foremost, the color is BEAUTIFUL. It brews a deep sapphire blue which is due to the butterfly pea flowers. But wait---there is more. The color changes to magenta if you add lemon, and green if you add honey. As far as the flavor goes every other reviews is pretty accurate when they say that it tastes like fruity pebbles. I will definitely be picking up a couple more bags this year since I only grabbed one last year.

I found this tea to taste fine, but nothing special. It just tasted like lemongrass to me

This is the only 'tea' my husband gets excited about. He poopoos my 'dirty water' for everything else, but I serve him this in a fancy teacup, and he loves it.

Wow this tea is awesome! It absolutely lives up to the hype. A delicious combination of lemon & blueberry, with a rich blue colour. Adding a couple drop of lemon juice boosts the flavour and makes the magic happen, although too much will overpower the taste of the tea. Wonderful hot or iced.

I love almost every Adagio blend I’ve tried, and this tea is no different. Love the sweetness of this one, and when I run out, I’ll buy more!
-
Michelle Levan
So unique. Love the color, and make it in my clear glass mug, just to enjoy it more, sometimes with lemon, sometimes without, magical! I do use more measured tea for a great cup (an extra teaspoon, or two)!

Tastes like fruit loops! Not a tea i would drink everyday, just something for the sweet cravings I get.

It's a very light tea. Not something I'm used to. I might need to steep it longer. The flavor I did taste was pleasant.

I try not to buy into hype, but I genuinely buy as many bags of this as I can when it's for sale. In terms of flavor, beauty, and balance, there's really nothing like it. It's become my go-to tea to serve whenever I've got company over, as well!
-
Lydia Getgen
This tea is well worth the hype! The delicious lemongrass flavor itself is lovely! Add the uniqueness of the blue liquor of the tea, which turns pink when lemon juice is added, and you've got yourself a winner!

Bought both Bella Lunas when they are available. Unique flavor and color. Would recommend getting to try when it is available

This is such a fun tea! A beautiful blue color when brewed, and a nice purple color when lemon juice is added. It smells exactly like fruity pebbles, but it tastes like blueberry and non-sour lemon. A delicious butterfly pea flower tea!

I didn't like this one. It has a light berry flavor. Won't order again

I did not care for this one as much as I liked the other bella luna tea. Don't get me wrong the color of the tea is stunning and the effect lemon has on it is unique but the flavor is a little gross to me. Defineatley a once in a blue moon purchase but no more than that.

I love the color change of this tea..the blueberry and lemongrass blend is a great combination
-
Jeffrey Pratt
Of course this is a gimmicky tea - the color change and the exclusivity both. But it's more than a gimmick fortunately! Yes the color is pretty, and yes it's cool to watch change but the blueberry flavor is very nice in this tea. It's good both warm and iced, and doesn't need sweetener. I never sweeten my tea anyway, but this is one nobody should need to sugar up. This is definitely a tea I would make for friends... Except that I hoard it for myself. I'm stingy even with my own cups and I use it only as a special treat.

Megan de Araujo
Pretty good, but not the first thing I choose. Watching the color change is really cool. I haven’t yet figured out the right combination of sugar, honey, and/or lemon. I also haven’t quite gotten the right steeping time for my tastes yet. Has great potential and my husband likes it.

My sister got this tea and shared with me, its fun to watch the color change with the added lemon juice. The flavor is pretty good, but not the first thing I reach for when choosing what to drink.
