Description

Butterfly Pea Flower
Scientific Name: Clitoria ternatea

Vibrant, calming, and visually striking, butterfly pea flower is a tropical botanical known for its brilliant indigo-blue color and gentle traditional use in culinary and herbal preparations. Harvested from Clitoria ternatea, this climbing vine has long been valued in Southeast Asian traditions for both its beauty and its refreshing, supportive qualities.

Plant Description:
Butterfly pea is a perennial climbing vine native to Southeast Asia. It produces vivid blue, pea-like flowers with a pale yellow or white center. The flowers are edible and contain natural pigments called anthocyanins, which give them their deep blue color that can shift to purple when combined with acidic ingredients like lemon.

Butterfly pea flower has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Southeast Asian herbal traditions. It is commonly prepared as tea, infused drinks, and natural food coloring. Traditionally, it has been used to support relaxation, cognitive clarity, and general wellness as part of daily herbal beverages.

Preparation Suggestions:
Butterfly pea flowers are commonly steeped as tea using 5–10 dried flowers per cup of hot water for 5–10 minutes. The tea can be enjoyed plain or mixed with lemon, honey, or other herbs, which may change its color from blue to purple. It is also used in cocktails, lattes, rice dishes, and desserts as a natural dye.
