About Butterfly Pea Flower
Butterfly pea flower is one of the most beautiful herbal tea and famous for its unique and special blue or purple color.
It is quite magic if you add some lemon juice to the tea base, thus changing the PH value. It can turns into purple or even pink.
You can purchase either butterfly pea flower or powder. Since butterfly pea has very faint taste. One of our suggestion is to stew it with some other tea or herbal tea with stronger taste for example jasmine green tea. But don’t stew it with black tea or other types that may change the lovely blue color.
