Description

Bluefly is a unique herbal infusion from Araksa Tea Garden in northern Thailand. The blend combines lemongrass and butterfly pea flower, two plants that naturally grow in the tropical hills around the Banchang forest. Both ingredients are carefully dried to preserve their freshness and colour.

When brewed, it produces a deep blue infusion with a clear, crystal-like hue. The aroma is refreshing, with notes of lemon, mint and fresh grass. The taste is soft, with light citrus freshness and a cooling finish.

Bluefly contains no caffeine and can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is a refreshing herbal infusion powered by just two pure, natural ingredients.

The story behind the tea: Araksa Tea Garden

In the Mae Tang district of Chiang Mai lies Araksa Tea Garden, one of the oldest tea gardens in Thailand. The garden remained untouched for fifteen years, free of chemicals and pesticides. That period of rest proved to be a blessing: the ecosystem recovered on its own.

Since 2014, the garden has been managed again, with biodiversity and soil health as its guiding principles. Araksa was the first tea garden in Thailand to receive both USDA Organic and EU Organic certification for both the garden and the factory.
