Celebrated for its striking indigo liquor and naturally soothing character, this caffeine-free herbal infusion is as enchanting to behold as it is to sip.
When brewed, the infusion unfurls into a sapphire-blue colour with a mild earthiness and soft floral undertones. Butterfly Pea Flower tea is naturally pH-sensitive, which means its color shifts when mixed with acidic ingredients. A splash of citrus turns the deep blue infusion into a vivid purple or pink, making it a favorite in cocktails, desserts across Southeast Asia.
