Organic Butterfly Pea Flower BULK

Add a vivid botanical color to your tea shelf and creative recipes with Butterfly Pea Flowers, harvested from the Clitoria ternatea plant. These dried blue blossoms are known for creating a deep blue infusion that shifts toward purple when lemon, lime, or another acidic ingredient is added.

Butterfly pea flowers are a beautiful choice for herbal teas, iced drinks, mocktails, syrups, culinary projects, natural color experiments, and botanical crafts. Their mild earthy-floral flavor makes them easy to blend with citrus, ginger, lemongrass, chamomile, lavender, and other loose herbs.
