“I tried something new today and baked some chia-lemon and blueberry mini muffins with almond flour. It pairs well with NM Tea CO’s Energize. It’s the perfect pair to add zing to my afternoon.”

The butterfly pea flower, native to southeast Asia, is very popular in tea and herbal blends because it easily infuses its vivid blue pigment. The blue infusion color can change before your eyes to purple and fuchsia with the addition of lemon, lime or other ingredients that change the pH of the infusion. Many new cocktail recipes and cool, color changing herbal teas can be created using this flower.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th this weekend! “Enjoying a holiday get-away from the comfort of home with New Mexico Tea Company's Coconut Dream.” Thank you to Laura for the photo submission! ———————— Click here to view this post on

A great selection of teas to choose from! Bohemian Raspberry and Peach Apricot Black would both make especially good iced teas. Two common ways to brew iced tea are cold brew and sun tea. To make iced tea with one of these methods, fill a large jar with loose leaf tea and then fill with filtered water. We usually use 1 ounce of tea for every gallon of water. If you like your tea rich, it wouldn’t hurt to add more tea leaves. Then, place the jar inside the refrigerator overnight for cold brew or under direct sunlight for sun tea and allow it to sit. Finally, strain the leaves, serve over ice, and enjoy!
