This plant is special for a number of reasons, but a big aspect of its recent popularity comes from its transformative nature. When steeped in boiling water, the Butterfly Pea flower has a strong blue color, which in itself is unique compared to other teas. The magic comes when lemon, or another form of acidity, is added and turns the tea from blue to a bright violet. The lemon changes the pH level of the tea, leading to the change in color. This unique quality has led to Butterfly Pea becoming quite popular around the world, and even becoming a staple for expert mixologists and chefs who use it to shock patrons with naturally color changing cocktails or brightly colored foods.

This flower is beautiful and full of endless creative possibilities when making use of its unique qualities. On top of that, it is steeped in health benefits, symbolism, and history. Let’s talk about why we all should be drinking Butterfly Pea tea!

Butterfly Pea is full of flavonoids, antioxidants and peptides and the famous Blue Chai we make with it has been linked to multiple health benefits. Scientific studies have shown that among other things Butterfly Pea tea is rich in the catechin EGG, tannins, polyphenols and anthocyanin and that its consumption can help strengthen the immune system, digestion and weight loss, improve mood and increase productivity. It can also help promote quality sleep and it is also used to improve the appearance of skin and scalp health.
