Palo azul means "blue wood," it gets its name because the plant's wood is used to brew an incredible blue fluorescent tea! Its blue color is caused by fluorescent phytonutrients (polyphenols & flavonoids), which also make it antioxidant, kidney-protective & liver-protective. The palo azul tree produces these polyphenols as a shield to defend against oxidative stress, UV light, bacteria, fungi, & pathogens, so they're what make it healthy & when we consume the shield, it helps us defend ourselves

Most people describe palo azul's flavor as earthy, smooth, slightly sweet, refreshing and not bitter. Although palo azul has 0 sugar, it has a subtle natural sweetness and that's why it's also known as palo dulce (sweet wood). It wont dry your mouth like many regular herbal teas can. It seems impossible that you could witness the same phenomenon that causes the Aurora Borealis in a cup of tea, but anything is possible with a little magic! 

How to See the Unique Blue Glow: When brewed, this tea creates a mesmerising fluorescent blue colour in the correct lighting / water conditions. To see the magik shine, the water should be alkaline! Palo azul turns blue much stronger in alkaline water and it is fluorescent, so it needs sunlight to help turn blue. Pour it in a glass cup, then go outside so it can absorb sunlight and enjoy the magic in full bloom! 

No artificial ingredients or processing.

Several studies showed that it has “metal-chelating” abilities, meaning that it binds to toxic heavy metals in the body and helps to flush them out. Several studies also showed that palo azul is a potassium-sparing duretic, meaning that it can help to flush out toxins without dehydrating your body.

Palo Azul’s polyphenolic content ranges from around 2 to 8 times higher than regular teas and 4 times higher than spirulina!

Palo azul only turns blue with alkaline water and when it absorbs sunlight because the blue color is caused by fluorescent nutrients which are only activated in an alkaline solution. If you want to see the magik shine, the water must be alkaline! Pour it in a glass cup and take it out in the sun so that it can absorb light and enjoy the magic! We recommend spring water that is naturally alkaline. Filtered water is acidic and it won't turn blue. 

Antioxidant & Alkaline: Studies show that palo azul has around 8 times more antioxidants than green tea, it's kidney-protective, liver-protective, and it has an alkalizing nature in the body. That's why it's also known as "kidneywood", because it's been used as a kidney remedy for over 500 years. It's a natural wood chip infusion that helps support alkaline balance whilst providing a refreshing taste.

...the blue color is what makes it healthy!

Palo Azul has electrolytes such as magnesium, potassium calcium & sodium, which make it alkaline. Therefore, studies showed that palo azul "decreases the acidity of urine" and "dissolves acidic precipitants (kidney stones)" However, if palo azul is prepared with acidic water, it may not alkalinize the water enough to raise the pH above 7. When it is prepared with alkaline water, it will stay alkaline, as opposed to black tea, fruit teas, or hibiscus which are slightly acidic and will lower the pH of the water.

There are many teas, but only one looks so majestic that it was given as a gift to royalty! That's because palo azul is the only fluorescent tea in the world. Each cup of palo azul is a beautiful work of art that’s full of wonder, awe, magic. It helps us remember to live one sip at a time, because the magic of life is in the simpliciteas, and every moment is a chance to fill our lives with a little magic! The palo azul tree (Eysenhardtia polystachya) grows in dry locations in Arizona, Texas and Mexico. We source our palo azul from a 12,000-acre natural reserve in Mexico. We source our palo azul from an Organic supplier thats been officially certified, so all our palo azul is ensured to be 100% organic. This means that our palo azul is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, heavy metals and GMOs...so every cup of Magiktea is good for you, the farmers, and the planet!

Why isnt it turning blue?: Palo azul’s blue color is caused by fluorescent nutrients, which means that it has to absorb high energy light in order to turn blue. Try pouring it in a glass cup and take it outside so it can absorb sunlight or shine a flashlight on it.

    Palo azul only turns blue in an alkaline solution, so if it still doesn't turn blue, then the water you used is probably too acidic. However you might still be able to catch a glimpse in certain lighting.

    Boiling the water too much can slightly lower the alkalinity, so it's possible that you may have boiled the water too much.

    If the tea looks yellowish or lightly colored, it's not concentrated enough so you probably didn't use enough palo azul.

    Sometimes the problem is the container that it is being brewed in. Try cold brewing it in a glass cup and if it doesn’t turn blue at all, then the water is most likely below 7 pH because palo azul’s fluorescent nutrients are only activated in an alkaline solution.

    The palo azul you used may have had a low polyphenol concentration, and these are the nutrients that make palo azul fluorescent. We source our palo azul from a USDA Organic certified supplier and all our product is tested for optimal quality so it will always look blue and magical!

Magiktea is the first and only certified 100% Organic - Palo Azul available!

The butterfly pea plant actually belongs to the same botanical family (Fabaceae) as palo azul, but they’re different plants. Although they're both blue, palo azul's blue color is caused by the phenomenon of fluorescence, so it’s not just blue…it actually emits blue light! The blue disappears with anything acidic or too much of certain ingredients. If the blue isn't your focus, palo azul pairs beautifully with lemon, orange peels, ginger, turmeric, cacao, or coffee and you'll still get the benefits. Palo Azul’s antioxidant capacity was shown to be around 8 to 26 times higher than regular teas and spirulina. Palo Azul tea’s antioxidants act quickly as they’re ingested and then they’re slowly released for at least 70 hours!

Many plants have flavonoids, but only a few plants evolved the unique ability of fluorescence to defend themselves from harmful UV light by absorbing high energy light and emitting a lower energy harmless light. So plants use polyphenols as a shield, and when we consume their shield, it helps us defend ourselves. Fluorescence occurs naturally in plants, flowers, minerals and animals. It just so happens that palo azul is the only plant that produces a fluorescent tea.

These ingredients stay blue as long as you dont overdo it: Sweeteners: Honey, Maple Syrup, Licorice Root, Agave / Spices: Cinnamon, Cardamom, Vanilla / Herbs: Rosemary, Lavender, Mint, Lemongrass / Other: Jasmine, Rose Petals, Saffron.

Try freezing Palo Azul tea for some blue-hued ice cubes. Perfect for chilling your Magik Potions without watering them down and adding an extra sparkle to your day.
