The Butterfly Pea plant’s botanical name is Clitoria ternatea. It is a part of the pea family that is known as Fabaceae. It is a native plant to South Asia. Known in Malaysia as Bunga Telang or Blue Pea, other common names are Asian Pigeonwings, Blue Bell Vine, and Darwin Pea.
Its flowers are singular, deep blue with a dash of yellow on the petals. Flowers are 4 cm by 3 cm and pods are 5-7 cm. There are some varieties that have white flowers. The flowers and pods are edible. It is a hardy plant that likes to trail around a fence post and then surprise you when it blooms. To make Butterfly Pea Blue Tea, use 5 to 10 dried flowers to a cup or teapot and add boiling water. You can also make the tea in cold, tepid, or hot water. Allow the flower to disperse its color into the teapot or cup.
My experience of adding the Butterfly Pea Blue Tea to my diet is a positive one. I feel livelier and wake up easier in the mornings. I had difficulty focusing on writing and on messages on my iPhone due to too much computer usage. However, when I started drinking the Butterfly Pea Blue Tea regularly, my problem disappeared. I’ve also experienced great improvement in my eyesight in a relatively small amount of time.
Everyone is different and although Butterfly Pea Blue Tea gave us great results, it is not a quick fix and may not work for everyone. I hope everyone enjoys using the Butterfly Pea Blue Tea for its health benefits and blue color that seems to brighten up the day. Also, don’t forget to share with your family and friends it’s entertaining, magical transformation to a brilliant purple!
