The flowers behind the colour
Butterfly pea flower is a striking blue bloom whose natural pigments turn hot water blue to turquoise.
Add a squeeze of lemon and the colour shifts toward purple and pink, because the pigment responds to acidity.
It is a bit of harmless magic in the cup, and children love watching it.
The native mints
Presence brings together spearmint, peppermint and native mints, including river mint and round leaf mint, for a fresh, cooling cup.
It is caffeine-free, so it suits the afternoon and the evening as much as the morning.
Three ways to brew it
Hot
Steep one tea bag for three to five minutes and enjoy the colour as it develops.
Iced
Brew double strength, cool and pour over plenty of ice for a cooling drink in the warm months.
Colour-changing
Serve it with a wedge of lemon on the side and let people change the colour themselves.
