Taste and Experience

The aroma is gentle and fragrantly floral. On the palate it is delicate, mild and earthy with a soft woody-floral character — light-bodied, smooth and clean with no bitterness. The real drama is visual: the brew steeps to a saturated, jewel-blue that glows over ice, and the moment an acidic squeeze of lemon or lime hits the cup, the blue rolls into a violet-purple before your eyes. Served plain it is a quiet, fragrant sipper; built into a layered iced drink, lemonade or cocktail it becomes the centrepiece — endlessly photogenic, hot or iced.

How to Brew Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

1. Measure: use about 1 tsp of loose dried flowers (roughly 8 to 10 whole flowers), or one teabag, per cup (200 to 250 ml).
2. Steep: pour water at 90 to 95°C over the flowers and steep for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cup turns a deep, vivid blue — leave longer for a more intense colour.
3. Serve: strain loose flowers and serve hot, or pour over ice for a chilled blue infusion. For the colour change, add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime and watch it turn violet-purple. Caffeine-free, so enjoy anytime, hot or iced. It also works as a natural blue or purple base for lemonades, mocktails, cocktails, lattes and baking.
