Because its flavor is so light and neutral, it acts as a perfect, smooth canvas for sweetening with raw honey, infusing with fresh citrus, or blending with spicy carminative herbs like Ginger and Lemongrass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: How does the tea change from blue to purple?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA:\u003c\/b\u003e The magic is pure organic chemistry! The natural deep blue color comes from high concentrations of pH-sensitive antioxidants called ternatins (a type of anthocyanin). When you introduce an acidic ingredient like fresh lemon or lime juice, the lowered pH shifts the molecular structure of these pigments, instantly changing the color from rich sapphire blue to glowing magenta purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: What is the main difference between the Premium and Organic grades?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA:\u003c\/b\u003e Both options consist of 100% pure, whole \u003ci\u003eClitoria ternatea\u003c\/i\u003e flowers with zero additives.
