Discover the vibrant beauty and natural benefits of our Organic Butterfly Pea Flower. Named for its delicate, wing-like petals, this member of the pea family boasts stunning blue-purple blooms that transform herbal teas, culinary creations, and skincare formulations with its rich color and antioxidant properties. While its bright hue may not attract butterflies, its earthy flavor and natural color-changing ability (shifting from deep blue to purple with a squeeze of citrus) make it a favorite among tea lovers and chefs alike. Our dried butterfly pea flowers are perfect for brewing soothing teas, crafting colorful beverages, or adding a botanical touch to your recipes.
