Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea)
Butterfly pea flower is the vivid blue blossom of the Clitoria ternatea plant, a perennial vine native to Southeast Asia. Its striking, velvety petals have been cherished for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Southeast Asian herbal practices, both for their beauty and their potential health-supporting properties.
Naturally rich in anthocyanins—particularly a unique group called ternatins—this caffeine-free botanical is celebrated for its antioxidant activity, which helps protect the body from oxidative stress. Traditionally, butterfly pea flower tea has been enjoyed to promote relaxation, mental clarity, and healthy skin and hair. Its vibrant blue infusion can also shift to purple with a squeeze of citrus, making it a favorite for creative herbal drinks.
Modern wellness enthusiasts value butterfly pea flower for its potential in supporting cognitive function, eye health, and overall vitality. It is often consumed as a soothing herbal tea, added to smoothies, or used as a natural food coloring in culinary creations.
