Butterfly Pea Flower – Whole Organic Dried Herb

Clitoria ternatea

28.3g / 1 oz

Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a vibrant blue flowering vine from the Fabaceae family, native to tropical Southeast Asia and widely cultivated throughout Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. The dried flowers are well known for their striking deep blue color, which shifts to purple or pink when exposed to acidic ingredients — making them popular in teas, culinary infusions, and color-changing beverages. All aerial parts are edible; the dried flowers are most commonly used in herbal teas and botanical culinary preparations.

Botanical Name: Clitoria ternatea

Common Uses:

Color intensity and aroma may vary slightly between batches due to natural variation in flower material. This is normal for dried botanical herbs.
