Clitoria ternatea is also known as butterfly-pea, blue-pea, Aprajita, Cordofan pea, Blue Tea Flowers or Asian pigeonwings, common to Southeast Asia. The flowers are used for their many #medicinal properties in #Ayurveda. Traditionally, the plant and tea have been used to treat general #pain, reduce #inflammation, help with common #eye issues like #conjunctivitis, fight against certain types of #cancers, induce #brain #health, and increase #vitality. The tea changes #colour based on the #pH level of the substance added to it, such that adding #lemon juice to the tea will turn it #purple!

Sourced from Blue Monkey Apothecary, butterfly-pea flowers have exquisite deep indigo-blue petals with a delightful green base.

AS A TEA: Butterfly-pea flower tea commonly known as Blue Tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea, or tisane, a traditional beverage made from a decoction or infusion of the flower petals or even whole flower of the Clitoria ternatea plant. The flavour of the tea has been described as #earthy and #woody, similar to a fine green tea.

AS A DYE: Butterfly pea flower tea gains its distinctive tint from the deep blue colour of the petals that have made the plant a popular dye for centuries.
