The beautiful and vivid butterfly pea flower has been used for centuries in its native Thailand and Malaysia. The intricate purple-blue flowers are rich in anthocyanins, which are known for their high flavonoid content. The flowers are naturally caffeine-free, so they are a perfect addition to add color and beneficial antioxidants to your favorite herbal brews. The flavor is very mild and lightly vegetal so it is easily incorporated into various drink combinations. Butterfly pea flower is also available in powdered form, often referred to as Blue Matcha. The powder can be blended into smoothies or whisked up like traditional matcha to make a delicious frothy brew.

When steeped in water, the butterfly pea flower infuses an incredibly vibrant blue color. With the addition of an acid (like lemon) the pH of the liquor changes to a rich purple. This unique color changing quality makes butterfly pea flowers an amazing inclusion in cocktails, recipes and more!

Thomas ★★★★★

The color it turns when brewed is unreal — a deep sapphire that shifts to violet with a squeeze of lime, exactly as described in the Thai tradition. I’ve been using it as a calming evening tea and the anthocyanin-rich powder dissolves cleanly with no clumping.

Alexander ★★★★★

I’ve been steeping this in hot water each morning, and the deep blue tea it makes is almost too pretty to drink—almost. The powder dissolves cleanly with no grit, and since it’s just the flower, I feel good about adding a spoonful to my smoothies without any weird additives.

Scarlett M. ★★★★★

The color it gives my yogurt is absolutely stunning, a deep blue that feels special every morning. The powder is fine and mixes right in, no clumps at all, so I’m already on my second bag.
