What is Blue Tea?

What is butterfly pea flower tea?

Butterfly pea flower is the flower of the clitoria ternatea plant, commonly known as blue pea or butterfly pea. The bright blue flower is used as a natural colouring in many recipes, as it is one of the most vivid blue colours to exist naturally anywhere in nature.

Butterfly pea flower tea, also known as blue tea, is the hot drink made from steeping the dried blue pea flowers in water. It is naturally caffeine free and tastes floral, with a hint of earthiness- as well as being bright blue in colour!

Bird & Blend have a butterfly pea flower tea blend, which is a blend of blue pea flowers, green tea leaves and freshly dried raspberries, which bring a slightly sweeter, fruity taste to the blue tea.
