Blue tea, also known as butterfly pea flower tea, is derived from the Clitoria ternatea plant. The plant’s bright blue flowers give the tea its distinctive, vibrant color, which can change to purple when lemon or lime juice is added, due to the pH change.

Aesthetically striking, blue tea’s scent profile is subtle and earthy with a slightly woody undertone. It does not have an overpowering aroma, and some describe its smell as mildly floral, reminiscent of the gentle fragrance of the flower itself. When brewed, its taste is often described as smooth and soothing, with hints of grassy notes typical of herbal teas. Its light flavor and calming fragrance make it popular in various blends and a favorite for those seeking a less intense tea experience.
