What Is Blue Butterfly Pea Tea?
Blue Butterfly Pea Tea is a naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion made from the dried flowers of Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as butterfly pea. The flowers produce a naturally deep blue infusion that can shift towards purple when an acidic ingredient such as lemon is added.

Why Choose Blue Butterfly Pea Tea?
Pure Butterfly Pea Flower
Common name: Butterfly Pea Flower
Plant family: Fabaceae
Butterfly pea is a flowering plant traditionally used in various food and beverage preparations. Its flowers are known for their naturally vivid blue colour and contain anthocyanin pigments.
Why Does Butterfly Pea Tea Change Colour?
The naturally blue colour of butterfly pea infusion comes from anthocyanin pigments present in the flowers.
When an acidic ingredient such as fresh lemon juice is added, the acidity changes the chemical environment of these pigments. This can cause the visible colour of the infusion to shift from blue towards purple or pink depending on the acidity.
