What is Blue Bliss Pea Tea?

Is Blue Bliss Tea Real Tea?
Butterfly pea flower, also known as blue pea flower, is not considered a traditional "tea" in the sense that it does not come from the Camellia Sinensis plant.
It is considered more of an herbal tea.
What gives Blue Bliss Pea Tea its distinct blue colour?
The distinct blue color of Butterfly Blue Pea tea is attributed to natural pigments called anthocyanins present in the petals of the Clitoria ternatea plant.
Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that exhibit different colors depending on the pH level of the liquid they are steeped in.
In the case of Butterfly Blue Pea tea, when the dried petals are infused in hot water, the anthocyanins are released, creating a vibrant blue hue.
This unique color-changing characteristic contributes to the tea's visual appeal, and it can undergo further transformations, turning shades of purple or pink, when acidic ingredients like lemon or lime are added.
What does Blue Bliss Pea Tea taste like?
Blue pea has a light and floral taste, with a hint of earthiness and a subtle sweetness.
This is often consumed plain, but it can also be sweetened with honey, sugar or stevia, or combined with other herbs such as lemongrass, lavender or mint to enhance its flavor.
