Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

Our Butterfly Pea Flower Tea is more than just a beautiful brew—it’s a powerhouse of wellness benefits made with the finest organic flowers, carefully sourced to ensure purity, potency, and vibrant flavor.

Known for its striking deep blue hue when steeped, this tea is rich in antioxidants—10x more than green tea—and is traditionally used to support weight management, cognitive function, and glowing skin and hair. It’s also celebrated for its potentially anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties, while supporting eye health, digestive support, and healthy blood sugar regulation.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Add a splash of lemon and watch the deep blue tea transform into a brilliant violet, thanks to a natural shift in pH—a mesmerizing touch for your next gathering or self-care ritual.

Delicious served hot or iced, this tea also makes an unforgettable butterfly pea lemonade—a stunning and refreshing choice for any summer event.

Wellness never looked—or tasted—so beautiful.

Benefits:

Skin and Hair Benefits:
Butterfly pea flower is often used in skincare products due to its potential to increase skin hydration and slow down signs of aging. It may also promote hair growth, strengthen follicles, and even slow down graying. Its antioxidants stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, which helps rejuvenate the skin and lessen wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Weight Management:
The flower’s high antioxidant content and potential to curb cravings may contribute to weight management when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Digestive Health:
Butterfly pea flower is traditionally used to ease digestive issues and promote a healthy gut. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe stomach muscles, alleviating
nausea and indigestion. It also stimulates the flow of bile from the liver, therefore acting as a mild laxative.
Eye Health:
Butterfly pea flower contains an antioxidant called Proanthocyanin, which increases blood flow to the capillaries of the eyes, useful in the treatment of glaucoma, blurred vision, retinal damage or tired eyes.
Women Health:
Butterfly Pea has been traditionally used as an aphrodisiac particularly for women and used to treat menstruation problems or white vaginal discharge.
Antioxidant and Anti Inflammatory:
Butterfly Pea flowers are extremely rich in antioxidant compounds, called ternatins. Ternatins have also been shown to alleviate inflammation and prevent cancer cell growth. It is also rich in other healing antioxidants known for fighting cancer-cells, anti-microbial, antiviral, known to boost immune function and fight cancer cells. It has also been shown to be excellent at stabilizing blood sugar levels through its ability to inhibit glucose intake.

When steeped in boiling water, the Butterfly Pea flower has a strong blue color, which in itself is beautiful. The magic comes when lemon is added and turns the tea from blue to a bright violet. The lemon changes the pH level of the tea, leading to the change in color. This tea is wonderful served hot but also don’t forget how beautiful it would look as a lemonade tea at your next summer event!
