Butterfly Pea Flower Tea (or commonly also known as Blue Tea) is a herbal tea that turns a vibrant blue when the petals are infused in water! The flower petals come from a beautiful plant scientifically named Clitoria ternatea, that commonly grows in Southeast Asia.
The blue tea can be enjoyed either hot or cold on its own - the taste and aroma is often described as earthy or vegetal. But adding lemon or honey to the tea can also add a little exciting element to it!
