Palo azul means "blue wood", and it gets its name because the wood of the plant is used to brew this extraordinary blue fluorescent tea. Palo azul's fluorescence is caused by fluorescent nutrients (polyphenols) which also make it antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, renoprotective, and liver-protective, so it's been used as a natural remedy for kidney & liver health for over 500 years! Studies show that palo azul has around 8x more antioxidants than green tea, and it has 0 caffeine, 0 oxalates, and 0 sugar, so you can enjoy Mother Nature's most magical tea at any time of the day.
Ingredients: 100% Organic palo azul
Tasting Notes: Earthy, silky smooth and slightly sweet.
Plant-Based Tea Bags: Our biodegradable plant-based tea bags are made with 100% bio-mesh from corn starch, so they're free from microplastics and bleach, making them better for you and the environment.






This is the 12,000 acre natural reserve where we source USDA Organic & Wildlife Friendly Certified palo azul and it is enrolled in Mexico’s Natural Protected Areas program (CONANP) so we’re committed to the conservation of all species in the region. We harvest by pruning the branches, which encourages the tree to grow even bigger and it adds more life to the land, so everyone can enjoy nature’s magic!
0 Caffeine & 0 Oxalates: Palo azul is also caffeine-free, as opposed to green tea or black tea which have around 25-50 mg caffeine per cup. Palo azul has 0 oxalates, which are anti-nutrients that can cause inflammation and bind with calcium to form calcium oxalate crystals (kidney stones). Green & black tea have around 4-16 mg/cup and several sources recommend limiting oxalates to 50mg per day.
Alkaline: Studies show that palo azul has minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium, which make it alkaline, unlike black tea, fruit teas, and some herbal teas which are slightly acidic.
Potassium-saving diuretic: A study showed that palo azul is a potassium-sparing diuretic, meaning that it flushes out toxins without electrolyte loss because it spares potassium. As opposed to regular diuretics like coffee and green tea which flush out electrolytes.
Metal-chelating: Several studies also showed that it has “metal-chelating” abilities, meaning that it binds to toxic heavy metals in the body and helps to flush them out.
Antibacterial: Numerous studies showed that palo azul tea is anti-bacterial and it's effective against bacteria which are associated with various infections.
Antipyretic & Antitussive: Several studies mention that palo azul is used as an antipyretic or an antitussive, which are agents that help to reduce a fever or cough.
Sun + Glass: The best way to see it is in a glass cup with sunlight or a flashlight, because palo azul is fluorescent, so it needs to absorb high energy light to turn blue. Sun, glass, and alkaline makes it shine, so enjoy your blueteaful tea out in nature and remember that the magic of life is in the simpliciteas! ✨
Many plants have polyphenols, 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!
