Blue Tea, also known as Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, is a caffeine-free herbal infusion made from the vibrant petals of the Clitoria ternatea plant. Known for its striking blue color and earthy, floral flavor, Blue Tea has gained popularity around the world for both its beauty and its wellness properties. When brewed, the petals release a vivid indigo hue that can turn purple with a splash of lemon, making it not only delicious but visually stunning. At Kumar Spices, our Blue Tea is carefully handpicked and dried to preserve its natural color, taste, and health-boosting compounds.
What sets Blue Tea apart is its abundance of natural antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which help support skin health, improve cognitive function, and aid digestion. Completely free of caffeine, it’s ideal for any time of day. Whether served hot or iced, or blended with herbs and fruits, Blue Tea is a calming, detoxifying drink that nourishes both body and mind—making it a favorite for wellness enthusiasts and tea lovers alike.
Blue Tea, also known as Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, has its origins in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, India, and Malaysia, where it has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional herbal medicine. The tea is made from the vibrant petals of the Clitoria ternatea flower, which was historically used not only for its soothing properties but also as a natural dye in food and cosmetics. In traditional practices, it was believed to enhance memory, promote longevity, and relieve stress. Over time, Blue Tea has gained international recognition as a visually stunning and health-boosting herbal drink.
