A beautiful and healthful tea, the butterfly pea flowers create a work of art as they are dropped into boiling water. Watch as the blue tendrils of color unfurl, eventually evening out to a deep blue. Butterfly Pea – Clitoria Ternatea – is native to Asia and India, has been used as an herbal remedy for hundreds of years. It has been documented for use as an anti-aging tea, to improve hair and nail quality, and to assist detoxification. We love it for the beautiful color and mild taste. This tea, while initially blue, changes instantly to a deep violet with a splash of lemon. We use this tea to brew Butterfly Pea kombucha, which also turns a deep violet due to the acidity of the brew. Butterfly Pea is an active brewer, and a joy to grow.
