Full Description

Organic butterfly pea flower, scientifically known as Clitoria ternatea, is a stunning blue flower native to Southeast Asia. Revered for both its aesthetic appeal and its myriad of health benefits, this beautiful blossom has been treasured in traditional medicine and culinary practices for centuries.

The vibrant blue petals of the butterfly pea flower contain a wealth of antioxidants, including flavonoids and proanthocyanidins, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants have been linked to various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties, improved cardiovascular health, and enhanced cognitive function.

In addition to its antioxidant properties, butterfly pea flower is renowned for its potential to support skin health. Rich in anthocyanins, the natural pigments responsible for its striking blue hue, butterfly pea flower has been used in skincare formulations to promote a radiant complexion, reduce signs of premature ageing and soothe irritation or inflammation.

Beyond its cosmetic applications, butterfly pea flower boasts a range of culinary uses. In traditional Thai cuisine, the flower is often brewed into a vibrant blue tea known as "blue pea tea" or "blue butterfly pea tea." This naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion is not only visually striking but also boasts a subtly sweet, earthy flavour profile.

Butterfly pea flower tea is not only a feast for the eyes but also offers a variety of potential health benefits. It is believed to support digestion, promote relaxation, and even enhance cognitive function. Some studies suggest that compounds found in butterfly pea flower may have neuroprotective effects, potentially reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline and supporting overall brain health.

Whether enjoyed as a refreshing beverage, incorporated into culinary creations, or used topically in skincare formulations, organic butterfly pea flower offers a delightful combination of visual appeal and wellness benefits. Embrace the natural beauty and holistic potential of this remarkable botanical treasure.
