I’ve tried dozens of teas, but nothing is quite like Bella Luna Blue by Adagio.com. It’s absolutely beautiful when it brews up—stunning indigo blue—and then magically turns vibrant pink with a splash of lemon.
It’s normally only available for 24 hours on the next Blue Moon—May 31, 2026—but I received permission to share a link so you can start buying it early, on May 15!
What is Bella Luna Blue?
- Limited-release herbal tea (caffeine-free).
- Ingredients: Lemongrass, butterfly pea flower, natural blueberry flavor.
- The interactive experience: the color changes due to the butterfly pea flowers and a pH reaction.
- Flavor profile: a muted citrus flavor from the lemongrass with subtle blueberry flavor.
- Steeping: 212°F for 5–10 minutes.
- Why it’s special: It’s a fan favorite that sells out fast since it’s only available for 24 hours on the day of the Blue Moon. Many people set reminders on their phones to remember to buy or they join Adagio’s email list to be notified when it goes on sale.
My Experience & Tasting Notes
I’ve ordered the tea before, but this time, I was fortunate enough to get the tea early.
The dry tea itself is beautiful—pale green lemongrass and deep purple butterfly pea flowers.
While the majority of the aroma is lemongrass, there’s also a strong note of a candy-like blueberry flavor that’s very pleasant.
I brewed 2 tablespoons of tea since it’s very loose, in 2 cups of boiling water. Hot, it was a very dark blue, but after it cooled and I added ice, you can see the pretty blue color.
Then I added lemon, and the color instantly changed, even before I mixed it.
I feel like a Regency-era alchemist! 🫖✨
Even though the lemongrass is already citrusy, I prefer the tea with a little bit of freshly squeezed lemon and a bit of sweetener to give it a sort of blueberry-lemonade flavor.
This would also be neat as a base for a unique Mocktail, especially with a bit of honey.
The blueberry is subtle, though, so expect more lemongrass-forward flavor.
Perfect for:- Large gatherings, since not everyone will want caffeinated iced tea.
- Kids because they’d enjoy the color change
- Tea parties—hot with a little lemon and sweetener, it’s very tasty.
- Food images as a pretty backdrop.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Dramatic visual spectacle, subtle flavor, caffeine-free
