Butterfly Pea

Butterfly Pea tea is a naturally vibrant infusion, prized for its striking deep blue color and ability to change hues with a squeeze of citrus. Made from the petals of the butterfly pea flower, it’s often used as a natural color enhancer in tea blends, cocktails, and culinary creations. While it has a mild, earthy undertone, its true appeal lies in its visual transformation and potential wellness benefits.
