Tea Forté’s Blue Mint Nectar is a refreshing herbal tea blend featuring the brilliant butterfly pea flower, which gives the tisane its vivid blue-violet hue. Beginning with a crisp, lightly sweet mint flavor and citrus aroma, it eases into the mellow coolness of melon and concludes with a smooth, herbaceous finish. Thoughtfully selected peppermint leaves and notes of spearmint, come together for a thirst-quenching sense of calm invigoration, while notes of fruit and rosehip round out the blend’s flavor profile with elegant complexity.

Herbal blends are not technically considered teas, since they contain no camellia sinensis leaves—the signature ingredient required to produce tea. Rather, herbal “teas” are referred to as “tisanes,” and can be composed of any combination of herbs, fruits, roots and other botanicals. One hallmark herbal tisane share is the fact that most are naturally free of caffeine, making them an ideal choice for nearly anyone at any time of day or night. Blue Mint Nectar’s bright, cool freshness makes it a perfect way to start the day without the jolt of coffee, as well as an ideal caffeine-free pick-me-up in the afternoon or evening.
