Ceremonial Butterfly Pea Flower Powder

Green matcha and blue matcha differ in their origins, color, flavor, and health benefits. Green Matcha contains a high antioxidant content, alongside moderate caffeine levels and calming L-theanine, contribute to its health benefits. Blue matcha, on the other hand, comes from the butterfly pea plant. It's recognized for its stunning blue color and earthy taste. While it doesn't contain caffeine, blue matcha is rich in antioxidants and has been used traditionally for various potential medicinal properties, including memory enhancement and stress reduction.

Our Butterfly Pea Flower Tea hails from the lush landscapes of Northeast Thailand, a region renowned for its exceptional tea-growing conditions. The fertile soils and unique climate in this area provide an ideal environment for the butterfly pea flowers to thrive, resulting in a tea that's rich in vibrant hues and delightful flavors. But the magic of this location doesn't stop there. The butterfly pea flowers from this region are known to contain high levels of Anthocyanin - a powerful antioxidant responsible for the tea's distinct blue color. This unique characteristic not only imparts a visually enchanting experience but also adds to the overall wellness benefits of every cup.

Start by dissolving 1/2 teaspoons of butterfly pea flower powder in a cup of hot water, steep for 3-5 minutes. Concurrently, heat a cup of your favorite milk until hot but not boiling, then froth it until foamy. Gently pour the frothy milk into the steeped tea, creating a creamy blue latte. If you wish, sweeten with your preferred sweetener. For an optional fun twist, add a few drops of lemon juice to change the color from blue to purple. Enjoy your vibrant, comforting latte!

Absolutely! While our butterfly pea flower tea is of the highest ceremonial grade, designed primarily for drinking, it doesn't mean its use is restricted to just that. Its vibrant blue hue and mild, earthy flavor can add a touch of magic to many recipes. You can use it as a natural alternative to food dyes in dishes and desserts, or to add an antioxidant-rich element to your cooking. However, given its high quality, we recommend primarily enjoying it as a tea to truly appreciate its unique qualities and health benefits. So, feel free to explore its versatility in the kitchen but remember, the best way to experience our butterfly pea flower tea is in its purest form, as a delightful, healthy beverage.
