Simply Butterfly Pea Flower

Derived from a plant that is common to most South East Asian countries, butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea)  has been brewed for centuries, but only recently been introduced to tea drinkers outside the indigenous area. Butterfly pea flower infusions gains its distinctive tint from the deep blue color of the petals that has made the plant a popular dye for centuries. One of the aspects of the tea is the fact that the liquid changes color based on the pH level of the substance added to it, for instance, adding lemon juice to the tea will turn it purple.
