Blue Butterfly Pea flowers are native to Thailand, Malaysia and can be found in other parts of SE Asia. The flowers are very popular in tea and herbal blends because they easily infuse their vivid blue pigment.
The color these flowers release is unreal—a deep, vivid blue that turns my whole glass of water into something magical. I've been adding a few blossoms to my nightly tea blend and they infuse fast, no waiting around.
I brewed a cup on a rainy afternoon and watched the water turn that gorgeous vivid blue within seconds—exactly the infusion the description promises. It tastes mild and earthy, nothing bitter, which makes it perfect as a base for tea blends.
The color payoff is unreal—steeped a cup for just a few minutes and the water turned that deep, vivid blue you see in photos. Flowers held their shape nicely in the strainer, and the tea itself was gentle and smooth.
