Blue Butterfly Pea Tea or Butterfly Pea.

The Clitoria Ternatea is also called Butterfly Tea, Blue Pea Tea, or Butterfly Pea (in English). This is due to the shape of the flower (Clitoria) and its color that all these names were given. Blue pea tea is very rich in vitamins A, B, and C.

Sometimes called Indonesian Blue Tea, blue pea tea is used throughout Asia. This blue infusion consists of whole Clitoria Ternatea flowers handpicked and sun-dried in Thailand.

It should not be confused with Butterfly Pea tea and Oolong tea, which is also called “blue tea.” The latter comes from a semi-fermented green tea variety derived from Camellia Sinensis.

Use of the Blue Butterfly Pea Flower.

The blue butterfly pea flower can be eaten fresh in salads. Its benefits come from its vitamin content. The anthocyanin molecule gives it this distinctive color.

But it is the butterfly tea (dried flower) that is better known to be consumed hot or cold. The dried flower can be incorporated into cooking or desserts. It is used to color the rice of the traditional dessert “Pulut inti,” widely popular in Southeast Asia.

This color is a gift of nature and completely natural. When you mix blue pea tea with lemon, it changes color, creating gradients from Prussian blue to purple.

What is butterfly pea flower tea?

Butterfly pea flower tea is an herbal tea made from the petals of the Clitoria Ternatea flower. This plant belongs to the legume family and is very common in Southeast Asia.

It is actually a vine or liana with oval leaves. When it blooms, dark blue calyx-shaped flowers develop. Although there is also a white-flowered variety, it is the blue flowers that are used for infusions.

Is blue pea tea a new invention?

No, as often with infusions originating from an Asian country, its history dates back to very ancient times. However, this natural treasure only recently arrived in the West. Since its arrival, it has attracted the interest of tea lovers due to its health benefits and unique color changes.

Its distinctive flavor and medicinal properties are used in Ayurvedic medicine. Blue pea tea stands out for its color changes depending on ambient pH. A simple addition of lemon or other acids transforms the royal blue infusion into amazing colors ranging from purple to pink.

You must try this Clitoria Ternatea Tea and there is a strong chance you will become completely hooked!

Enjoy your tasting 🙂
