Tasting Notes

Aroma: Mild, fresh, and slightly vegetal; Liquor: Intense sapphire blue and crystal clear; Palate: Gentle earthiness paired with a silky texture and zero bitterness, offering a refined balance that complements both relaxation and focus.

Steeping Guide

Heat water to 90–95 °C and use 1–2 tsp per 8 oz cup; steep for 3–5 minutes with the cup covered to preserve its brilliant color.

Product FAQ

Q. What makes Butterfly Pea Flower – Blue Tea special?

A. Its vibrant, natural blue color—thanks to anthocyanin-rich Clitoria ternatea petals—is unique among teas. There’s no bitterness, just a smooth, earthy-sweet cup that can also serve as a color-changing base when you add citrus.

Q. How do I brew to get the deepest blue hue?

A. Use near-boiling water (90–95 °C), 1–2 tsp leaves per 8 oz, and steep uncovered for 4–5 minutes. Covering traps heat for a richer color. For a second steep, reuse the leaves for 2–3 minutes to preserve vibrancy.

Q. Can I enjoy this tea cold or as a mocktail?

A. Absolutely—brew double-strength, chill, and serve over ice. It makes a striking, zero-caffeine “mocktail,” especially when you add a squeeze of lemon (it shifts from blue to purple!).

Q. Are there any health benefits beyond its color?

A. Yes—Butterfly pea flower is rich in antioxidant anthocyanins, which help neutralize free radicals, support skin and hair health, and have mild anti-inflammatory effects.

Q. Does this tea contain caffeine?

A. No—this is a naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion, perfect for any time of day or night.

Q. How should I store Butterfly Pea Flower – Blue Tea?

A. Keep it in an airtight, opaque container away from light, heat, and moisture. Reseal immediately after use to preserve color potency and freshness for up to 18 months.
