What Is Blue Tea? Benefits, Uses, and Why Everyone’s Talking About It
My Store AdminWhat Is Blue Tea?
Blue tea, also called butterfly pea tea or blue pea flower tea, is an herbal infusion made from the dried petals of the Clitoria ternatea plant. In Ayurveda, it’s known as Aparajita and is used as a natural brain tonic and stress-reliever.
Unlike green or black tea, blue tea is:
-Naturally caffeine-free
-Packed with anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants)
-Visually striking, it brews a deep sapphire blue and changes color to purple with a drop of lemon juice
-Used in teas, lattes, desserts, cocktails, and skincare
