Tales from Our Laguna Beach Shop About This Tea

Wherever we put this one on the shelf, people find it and come up asking for the purple tea. When kids come in wanting a recommendation, we walk them through the fruity herbals, and nine times out of ten this is the one they take to their parents. The smell and the look get them first, and then we mention that it brews purple. That's the whole ball game!

  • How to brew it hot

    1 teaspoon per 8 oz, 212°F, steep 5 to 10 minutes. Herbal blends need the full boil and a long steep.

  • How to make iced tea

    2 teaspoons per 8 oz, same water and steep time, then pour over a full glass of ice. Double strength so the ice doesn't dilute it.

  • How to cold brew

    Use 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of filtered water.
    Steep in your fridge for 10 to 14 hours.
    Strain out the leaves and enjoy!
