What is Butterfly Pea Flower tea?
It is a caffeine-free blue herbal infusion made from dried butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) flowers, a plant with deep roots in Indian and Ayurvedic tradition. Sold as loose blossoms. TEAME is part of Madhu Jayanti International, a tea house with 80+ years of sourcing experience, and all TEAME teas are 100% natural with no added sugar or artificial flavours.
Why does it turn blue, and can it change colour?
The flowers naturally release a vivid blue. Adding lemon or lime lowers the acidity and shifts the colour toward purple and pink — a popular effect for drinks and mocktails.
Is it caffeine-free?
No. This is a naturally caffeine-free blend, which makes it an easy choice for the evening or for anyone reducing caffeine.
How do I brew it?
Steep about a teaspoon of the dried flowers in hot water for 4–5 minutes until vividly blue, then strain. For iced or colour-changing drinks, cool it and add citrus.
What does it taste like?
Very mild and earthy, which is why it is often combined with lemon, honey or other flavours.
Is it sugar-free?
No. It contains no added sugar and no artificial flavours or preservatives. Any sweetness comes from the natural ingredients, and you can add your own honey or sweetener to taste.
Can I use it in cocktails and mocktails?
Yes. Its colour-changing quality makes it a favourite natural base for mocktails, lemonades and layered drinks.
Can I drink it every day?
For most healthy adults a daily cup is generally fine. If you are pregnant, on medication, or have a specific health condition, check with your doctor first.
How should I store it?
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, light, moisture and strong odours. Once opened, keep it airtight and use within a few months for the best flavour and aroma.
