Region & Habitat:
Butterfly Pea is native to tropical Asia and is widely cultivated across Thailand, Vietnam, India, and parts of Africa and Australia. It thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained soil and is often found along fences, fields, and gardens.
Traditional & Cultural Use:
Traditionally used in Thai, Malay, and Ayurvedic practices, Butterfly Pea flowers have been steeped to make vibrant blue teas and natural dyes. In Southeast Asian culinary culture, they are used to colour drinks, rice, and desserts. In the UK and EU, Butterfly Pea has appeared in imported teas and botanical blends prior to 1997, particularly through Asian food and herbal stores.
Preparation & Application:
Infused in hot water to create a vivid blue tea that can change colour with acidity (e.g., lemon juice). Also used in natural dyeing, floral decorations, and botanical craft preparations.
Organoleptic Notes:
Bright blue or purple dried flowers with a mild, earthy-grassy aroma and neutral taste. Adds vivid colour to preparations without overpowering flavour.
