Asians across countries like Malaysia, China, Singapore, Korea, and Vietnam will be busy with preparations to ring in the Lunar New Year on 25 January 2020. Asian migrants in Australia and anywhere else in the world will also uphold some Lunar New Year traditions. Each Chinese zodiac sign from the 12 (rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig) has a lucky colour and many of them are associated with happiness and the success they are going to have during all 12 months. What are the lucky colours of 2020 and how to attract good luck? Surprisingly, the lucky colours of the year 2020 "Year of the Rat" are White and Blue. How appropriate are they for My Blue Tea . To attract good luck, from January 25th of 2020 when the Lunar Year of the Rat starts, the colours White and Blue must be predominant around you for good luck, prosperity, and health. In feng shui, this applies to both the colours you are wearing, as well as the colours of your home interior design. 2020 is a watershed year from an astrological point of view for many zodiac signs. The Rat, which is the first zodiac sign from the Chinese calendar, has as the main agent the Water element, represented by the blue colour and the Rat is yang and represents the beginning of a new day. (source: https://www.thechinesezodiac.org/lucky-colors-2020 ) How else can you attract good luck? How about drinking some Blue Tea!? Our favourite is the Blue Goddess Tea 蓝铁观音 which is a special blend of Tie Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy Tea), a sweet and floral Chinese oolong tea that has been delicately infused with goji berries and our very own butterfly blue pea flowers. The aroma reminds you of the wonderful orchids. What's in store for My Blue Tea in 2020? MY BLUE TEA is looking forward to the Year of the Rat. Since the Rat is the first in the rotation of the 12 zodiac signs, the Year of the Rat is considered a year of new beginnings and renewals. When the Year of the Rat comes, it generally delivers new experiences with favourable outcomes for all of the zodiac signs. The Metal element aspect also indicates success, as this is the element of production. Metal is strong, determined and resolute. With all of these properties combined in 2020, the year of the Metal Rat looks to be a year that is filled with growth and accomplishments. Businesses can thrive if they work on opportunities to build good relationships with customers, be brave, be happy and maintain trust with key stakeholders. New beginnings by investing in sustainability My Blue Tea will be investing in training the next generation for future food security. New machines have been commissioned and work with Scientists and their teams have commenced improving our freeze-dried technology. We have 280 acres of land to plant Butterfly Pea Flowers, Pandan, Purple Sweet Potato, Torch Ginger, Red Ginger and Dayak Ginger. This plantation, as a non-profit enterprise, will assist our community particularly native single mums.

It's the Year of Blue and Gold this Christmas With 2019 drawing to a close and the festive season being upon us, the team at MY BLUE TEA would like to wish you, your family, friends and relatives a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope that over the festive season you get to enjoy a well deserved rest and some time with those you love!. MY BLUE TEA for Christmas - The New Hue is Natural Blue The ancient history and spiritual significance of the colour blue (described in our Blue Butterfly Product Brief or Clitoria Ternatea its scientific name) has, at its base a substantive scientific basis. Scientists understand that over half of the human brain is involved in processing what we see as compared to only about 1% dedicated to taste. In a human baby’s first few months we begin to distinguish colours showing a strong preference for more saturated colours such as blues and reds. Deep contrasting colours are, biologically speaking, more attractive. We humans are colour- seeking creatures and food companies have become master manipulators of colours. Globally the colour blue is an overwhelmingly favourite colour and the food industry has had great success with blue coloured candy, sugary drinks and cereals. But a vibrant natural blue that is stable, predictable and healthy is rare indeed. Enter Clitoria ternatea (Blue Butterfly pea vine flower) screaming “I’m true vibrant blue because nature, in its unruly variety, has made me so and, bathed in my colour blue, I bring you wellness in body, mind and spirit.” Looking forward to 2020, we have a lot of exciting news, recipes, products and events in the works - all in an effort to drive more traffic to YOUR business, whether it’s a café, restaurant, bakery, health and beauty products or for YOUR personal enjoyment. A lot of varieties, our Vegan friends included. We are always looking for quality businesses and consumers across all industries, if you are considering additional opportunities, please let us know.

How to make Pandan Nice Cream? Pandan Nice Cream with Banana Bread Granola, anyone? This beautiful Pandan Nice Cream is developed by Svetlana, a Brisbane based vegan health and food blogger. But What Exactly Is Nice Cream? Banana-based ice cream may be the original nice cream, but the term has come to represent any fruit-based, vegan, dairy-free treat free from artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and added sugar. Take our new three-ingredient mango and strawberry nice creams, for example. A banana is added to each to ensure a creamy texture, but the other fruits are the stars of the show. The technique is so popular that there are entire cookbooks and even brick-and-mortar ice cream stores dedicated to the stuff. In her book Guilt-Free Nice Cream, author Margie Broadhead describes nice cream as a “healthy, banana-based alternative to ice cream, which happens to also be delicious and super easy and quick to make.” In Nice Cream: 30 Guilt Free Banana Ice Cream Desserts, author Dani Spies defines nice cream as “a low-calorie, low-fat, plant-based alternative to traditional ice cream that also happens to be delicious and packed with nutrients.” What About All These New “Light” Ice Creams? Are They Nice Creams? Freezer aisles are now filled with pints advertising their ice cream as “light,” “high-protein,” “low-calorie,” “good-for-you” alternatives to ice cream. But, not all are nice creams. That’s right — the Halo Tops and coconut-based vegan ice creams (often filled with added sugar or sugar substitutes) of the world are not nice creams. The only commercial products that comes to mind as nice creams are Daily Harvest’s Nice Cream Sundaes, made primarily with banana, cauliflower, and a variety of nuts, and sweetened with dates.
