What is Butterfly Pea tea? This caffeine-free herbal is prized for its striking transformation from brown liquor when first brewed to a vibrant blue with a squeeze of citrus (citric acid). Butterfly pea is 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 ability to change color.
