Did you know that there are very few true blue things in nature that are edible? Most blue foods are actually varying shades of purple. But the amazing butterfly pea flowers make a tea that is literally, really, truly, blue. The blue color comes from a special type of bioflavonoid pigment that is not only an outrageously blue color, it actually has health benefits as well. These bioflavonoid pigments support your health in three important ways: they are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic.
Butterfly blue pea flowers come from Thailand, where the tea is consumed for relaxation, relief of anxiousness, mental focus, and to promote healthy skin and hair.
There is one downside, however: the flavor of butterfly blue pea flower tea without any other ingredients is a bit disappointing. The flavor is rather like the water in which green beans have been boiled. You can completely uplift the flavor of this earthy tea by adding lemongrass, which is the perfect match for butterfly pea flowers. Lemongrass doesn't interfere with the beautiful blue color of the tea, and it adds a lemony flavor. A tea made with a blend of butterfly pea flower and lemongrass is smooth, mellow, soothing, and relaxing.
