Tea time is my notion of “me time.” The history of tea is convoluted and complicated. It has been considered a gateway to knowledge, happiness, and good health in the East for thousands of years. Many researchers can attest to its usefulness in providing a plethora of health advantages. This is something I can personally attest to! One of the reasons I consider myself one of the most ardent supporters of tea drinking.

That first sip of fresh, steaming tea rejuvenates and gives me a sense of renewal. It also gives me a sense of serenity and a burst of energy at the same time, especially if I have a busy, enduring day ahead of me. I love to snuggle up with a good read as I’m sipping on tea. There are many different types of tea out there, and each one has its own set of notable qualities. This includes flavor, differing health benefits, and various levels of caffeine. You can learn what type of tea is best for you here. One of my favorite brands of tea is Adagio Teas. Their teas are fresh and affordable since they come directly from growers.

To celebrate, Adagio’s elusive loose leaf tea, Bella Luna Blue Tea, has made its triumphant return! Only available on days of a blue moon, their Bella Luna Blue Tea is only available on May 31st. Bella Luna Blue is crafted with butterfly pea flower. The butterfly pea flower produces a vivid indigo infusion when steeped. Add a splash of lemon, and the tea transforms before your eyes, shifting from deep blue to vibrant pink. This naturally occurring reaction has made the tea a popular centerpiece for gatherings and social sharing.

The blend pairs the bright, citrusy character of lemongrass with a caffeine-free cup. While visually dramatic, the tea is equally appreciated for its clean, approachable flavor and versatility, whether served hot or over ice.
