How to Use

Add 1 teaspoon, around 2g, to a cup. Whisk with a small amount of warm water until smooth, then top with water or milk. Enjoy hot or pour over ice.

For a colour-changing drink, add a squeeze of lemon or lime to shift the colour from blue towards purple or pink. Butterfly pea powder can also be blended into smoothies or mixed into yoghurt, baking and desserts.

Ingredients

Butterfly pea flower powder (Clitoria ternatea). Naturally caffeine free.

Traditional Use

Butterfly pea flowers have long been used across Southeast Asia in teas, rice dishes, desserts and naturally coloured drinks.

The flowers are traditionally steeped to create a vivid blue infusion. The powdered form offers a convenient way to use the same ingredient in modern drinks and recipes.

More Information

Butterfly pea powder is also commonly called blue matcha, but it is not traditional green tea matcha. It is made from butterfly pea flowers and has a mild, earthy flavour with soft floral notes.

Its naturally vivid blue colour reacts to acidity, so adding lemon or lime changes the colour towards purple or pink. Use it in tea, lattes, smoothies, iced drinks, baking and desserts.

Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions

We believe in being open about everything we make. Below are honest answers to the questions we get asked most about our ingredients, sourcing, testing and how to get the best from your routine.

What is blue matcha?

Blue matcha is a common name for finely milled butterfly pea flower powder. Unlike traditional green matcha, it is not made from tea leaves. It has a vivid blue colour and mild, earthy flavour, making it ideal for lattes, teas, iced drinks and baking.

What are the health benefits of butterfly pea tea?

Butterfly pea tea is naturally caffeine free and its vivid blue colour comes from naturally occurring plant pigments. It is a colourful alternative to caffeinated tea and can be enjoyed hot, iced or with milk. Add lemon and the colour changes from blue to purple.

What does butterfly pea powder taste like?

Butterfly pea powder has a mild, earthy flavour with soft floral notes. It is not strongly bitter, so it mixes easily with milk, fruit, vanilla, honey and other flavours.

What is the difference between blue matcha and green matcha?

Blue matcha is made from butterfly pea flowers, while green matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves. Blue matcha has a mild, earthy flavour and vivid blue colour. Green matcha has a fresher, grassy flavour and naturally contains caffeine.

How do you use butterfly pea powder?

Whisk it into warm water or milk, then enjoy it hot or pour it over ice. It can also be blended into smoothies or mixed into baking, yoghurt and desserts for a naturally vivid blue colour.

How much butterfly pea powder should you use per cup?

Start with 1 teaspoon, around 2 grams, per cup of water or milk. Add a little more for a deeper colour or stronger flavour, and adjust to taste.

Does butterfly pea powder contain caffeine?

Pure butterfly pea powder does not naturally contain caffeine because it is made from flowers rather than tea leaves. Check any added ingredients when using it in premixed drinks or blends.

Why does butterfly pea powder change colour when lemon is added?

Butterfly pea flowers contain natural blue pigments that react to acidity. Adding lemon changes the drink from blue towards purple or pink, depending on how much is used.
