Remember the song “Blue Moon”? The song was about a lonely guy wanting his love to appear, then she appears, then his is happy. Well, that’s why tea lovers can go blue mooning over Blue Q tea. Flavors to yearn for, now they’re here!

Originally concocted by company co-owners and brothers Mitch and Seth Nash as the name for what they had planned to be a lighting company in 1988, Blue Q is a testimony to the saying “The best laid plans of mice and men…” Tea is another item in their growing line-up of unexpected products.

Mitch Nash seems to lean toward the creative and so became the Art Director for Blue Q, located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He assures that their tea packages stand out in a crowd, with fun and rather quirky images. And those images fit the quirky names and the quirky flavored teas and herbals inside, perfect for those who want a taste apart from the usual. All of their teas are bagged in a biodegradable material. Steep. Sip. Toss in the compost. Repeat often!

• Blue Q Tea Merci Berries and Rose — An elegant India black tea with strawberries, a rose petal or two, and flavorings.
• Blue Q Easy Pleasy Peach and Ginger Tea — A black tea with sweet peach, a grate of ginger, and flavorings.
