Fan FavouriteButterfly Pea Flower Tea — Colour-Changing
Butterfly pea flower tea is the most visually dramatic ingredient in the cold brew tea world, and it produces an infusion that is as much a performance as a drink. The dried flowers brew to a deep, vivid indigo-blue — a colour so saturated and unusual that it stops guests in their tracks — and then, when you add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, the pH change causes the colour to shift instantly and dramatically from blue to purple to bright magenta-pink. The effect is genuinely spectacular, and it never fails to impress. The flavour is mild and earthy, similar to a very gentle green tea, which makes it an excellent base for flavoured cold brews where the visual impact is the primary attraction. Cold-brewed overnight, butterfly pea flower produces a deeply coloured concentrate that can be layered over other teas or lemonades to create stunning two-tone drinks. It's completely caffeine-free, naturally vegan, and the colour-changing reaction is entirely food-safe — the anthocyanins responsible for the colour shift are the same compounds found in red cabbage and blueberries. A tea that makes every serving an occasion.
