Size:

Neptune is the eighth planet in our solar system. Distant by nature, it takes sunlight 4 hours to reach its icy, turbulent surface. 

Neptune is like inspiration in a lot of ways: far away and hard to grasp, but once the light reaches its surface, it transforms everything it touches. Winds of thought and reflection sweep us off our feet; a storm of experience and change. 

The world suddenly feels bigger, and we are simply in it. This blend is built to live in that feeling.

Butterfly pea flower gives Neptune its color. It is a stunning, natural blue that steeps true to the planet’s iconic image.

Lemongrass shows how intentional the creation of this blend is. Most citrus would turn this blend to a vibrant purple, so instead of using lemon or orange, Inlustria Tea & Blends chose to add lemongrass for its low acidity, brightening the blend without ever touching the show-stopping blue.

Peppermint brings the cold. Neptune is one of the most frigid places in our solar system, and every sip of this blend carries that. Crisp, clean, and cooling from the first steep to the very last.

FOUNDER’S NOTE:Neptune is a blend that truly shows what Inlustria is for me. It is driven by the pursuit of inspiration and the path to understanding. What moves us? What gives us space to grow and learn? Tea, for me, has always been an experience of reflection. It’s a reminder to slow down, steep in the moment, and let meaning unfold. I enjoy Neptune in times where I may be searching for clarity or inspiration, and as it has become the shop’s bestselling blend, I also drink it to remind me that Inlustria Tea & Blends is built off of mindfulness, experience, and quality.
