Why is Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Blue?

You may have seen these instafamous blue teas and wondered if it was all natural? You'll be glad to know it is 100% natural! 

The vibrant blue hue from this blue pea flower comes from anthocyanins (blue pigments similar to blueberries and purple cabbage which are high in antioxidants).

If you add 1 drop of lemon or lime juice into this blue tea it will magically transform into a purple tea! 

How Does Blue Pea Tea Change Colour?

This colour change from blue to purple happens when the pH of the tea is lowered (as a result of the acidic lemon). A fun alternative to the litmus test for the kids and a fun drink to enjoy afterwards!

Perfect for cocktails, relaxing warm teas, smoothies, cakes, popsicles and anything you want to naturally colour blue!
