The questions about PH could be answered by making the tea in distilled
water, if it's worth the trouble. Me, I think I would apply the motto,
"What you don't know may hurt you a whole lot" to the sitation, and throw
the tuo out -- it's only 100g of tea. You don't know what's causing the
blue tinge. Why should it only emerge after several hours if it's due to
the lettering? Dunno, but I wouldn't mess with it.
