Quality & Sensory

When steeped in hot water, the blossoms release a striking cobalt-blue infusion with a smooth, mild, subtly sweet taste and a soft floral finish. A few drops of lemon juice will shift the brew toward violet and pink, a natural color change that makes it a favorite for tea menus and creative beverages.
