Butterfly Pea Flower has been used for centuries in Southeast Asia and has recently been introduced to tea drinkers outside of its native area of Thailand. The flower boasts a long list of Ayurvedic properties, and people love the bright blue color and the fact that it changes color to a nice purple color when some acid (like lemon juice) is added. The cup imparts a mild, earthy flavor. Please note: The mineral content of your water source will affect the color of the brew. Our photos use local spring water sourced from the Berkshires. If the color of your brew is different, please consider trying an alternative water source.
