Some teas taste beautiful.
This one looks magical.
Butterfly Pea Flowers create one of nature's most captivating infusions—a brilliant sapphire-blue tisane that transforms into vivid purple with the simple addition of citrus. Equal parts tea ritual and visual wonder, every cup feels like a small act of alchemy.
Beneath its striking colour lies a surprisingly gentle flavour. Earthy, floral, and softly herbaceous, Butterfly Pea Flower offers a smooth and refreshing cup that can be enjoyed on its own or enhanced with a touch of sweetness and fresh citrus.
Whether served hot, iced, or as the foundation for creative tea blends and cocktails, this vibrant herbal infusion never fails to spark curiosity and delight.
Origin
Our Butterfly Pea Flowers are sourced from a sustainable, female-run farming community in rural Sukhothai, Thailand.
Generations of agricultural knowledge, careful harvesting practices, and a commitment to sustainability help produce flowers of exceptional colour, quality, and freshness.
While not certified organic, these flowers are grown sustainably and without the use of pesticides, allowing the natural beauty of the plant to shine through.
Every cup supports a farming community dedicated to preserving both traditional cultivation methods and economic opportunities for local women.
How It Is Made
Butterfly Pea Flower tea is crafted from the vibrant blossoms of the Clitoria ternatea plant.
After harvesting, the flowers are carefully dried to preserve their rich colour and delicate flavour. No additional ingredients, flavourings, or colouring agents are needed.
The deep blue hue comes naturally from anthocyanins—the same family of pigments found in blueberries and purple cabbage.
When citrus is added, the infusion undergoes a natural pH reaction, transforming from brilliant blue to vivid purple before your eyes.
It's one of the most beautiful tea experiences nature has to offer.
