Do you use dye coloring in your tea?Updated 6 months ago

When you steep a cup of Sista Teas and watch its color unfold, it’s easy to wonder about how each tea steeps a beautiful color. Are these colors the result of artificial dyes? Not at all! The rich color of our tea comes straight from nature, courtesy of the tea leaves, herbs, and botanicals. Let’s explore how these natural ingredients lend their unique shades to your favorite steep.

Blue Moon Tea

One of the most stunning examples of tea’s natural artistry is Blue Moon Tea. This blend owes its striking blue hue to the butterfly pea flower, a botanical revered for its vibrant pigments. What makes it even more fascinating is its transformative quality: when you add a splash of citrus, the tea shifts from blue to purple. This is due to the flower’s natural pH-sensitive compounds reacting to the acidity of the citrus.

Ginger Berry Tea

Another delightful blend, Ginger Berry Tea, steeps into a rich purple color thanks to elderberries. These tiny berries are packed with natural pigments that release a deep, jewel-like hue when steeped. Beyond their color, elderberries are also known for their health benefits, making this tea beneficial for both the eyes and the body.

Citrus Hibiscus Tea

The vibrant red comes from hibiscus flowers, which are a treasure  of natural color and tart flavor. The hibiscus not only delivers a bold, captivating red but also infuses the tea with a refreshing tanginess that’s absolutely delicious. 

The Beauty of All-Natural Ingredients

Unlike artificially colored beverages, these teas derive their hues solely from the natural steeping process. The combination of hot water and carefully selected botanicals creates an experience that’s as wholesome as it is beautiful. With no artificial colors or flavors, these teas let the natural beauty of their ingredients shine through.

So, the next time you enjoy a cup of vividly colored tea, take a moment to appreciate the artistry of nature. Each hue tells a story of the botanicals that bring it to life, transforming your cup into a celebration of pure, natural beauty.
