Tea 101

Summary

Midnight Berry Tea, despite its name, contains no actual berries. This enchanting blend is crafted from star anise, cinnamon, elderflower, chamomile, and the visually striking butterfly pea flower, which imparts a mesmerizing midnight blue hue to the tea. It's a salt-free concoction that surprises with its aroma reminiscent of a blueberry muffin, thanks to the rich warmth of the spices and floral notes. The tea is perfect for those seeking a soothing, pre-bedtime indulgence with a touch of magic in every sip.

History

Midnight Berry Tea was created by one of our herbalist team members, inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night and seeking a new way to relax before bed.

The ingredients within each have their own histories. The butterfly pea flower traces to Southeast Asia where it has been used for centuries not only as a natural dye but also in various culinary applications. Its ability to change color based on pH levels makes it a popular choice in traditional beverages and desserts. The inclusion of spices like star anise and cinnamon in Midnight Berry adds a layer of complexity, tracing back to the ancient spice routes that connected the East and West.

In contrast, the use of elderflower and chamomile in teas has a distinctly European origin, popularized for their calming and medicinal properties. This blend of Eastern and Western influences showcases how cultural elements can merge to create something uniquely delightful, reflecting a global appreciation for both the aesthetic and sensory pleasure of herbal teas.

Why We Love It

We adore Midnight Berry Tea for its sensory symphony. The visual appeal of its deep blue hue is just the beginning; the aromatic profile, which conjures up the comforting scent of freshly baked blueberry muffins, is genuinely captivating. It's our go-to for winding down after a long day, providing a calming effect that prepares us for a restful night. Whether enjoyed plain or with a twist of lemon to watch the color change, this tea never ceases to amaze and comfort.

The More You Know

Although Midnight Berry tea is one of the newest additions to our tea library, it has quickly become a best-seller. It's a crowd favorite when we offer samples in-store, often surprising people with its rich, deep midnight color and naturally sweet taste.

Midnight Berry Tea

This tea is delicious whether hot or cold, plain or as a milk tea, sweetened or unsweetened.

Because of the butterfly pea flower it has this gorgeous blue almost purple color, and if you decide to add some acidity such as lemon, lime, or orange it changes the color to a lovely vibrant pinky purple, which is fun to watch!
