Palo azul means "blue wood", and it gets its name because the plant's wood produces this incredible fluorescent tea. Palo azul's fluorescence is caused by nutrients (polyphenols) which also make it antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and kidney-protective. That’s why it’s also known as “kidneywood”, because it's been used as a kidney remedy 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. Magiktea is USDA Organic & Wildlife Friendly Certified because it's our mission to share sustainably sourced palo azul so everyone can enjoy Mother Nature's most magical tea!
