At Blue Tea, we know that choosing a tea isn't only about its benefits. Taste matters. Especially when you're trying a bright blue herbal tea for the first time, the obvious question is: What does it actually taste like?
The short answer? Butterfly pea flower tea has a mild, delicate, naturally floral taste. It isn't as strong as chai or as grassy as green tea, making it an easy starting point for anyone new to herbal infusions.
What Does Butterfly Pea Tea Taste Like?
Our Butterfly Pea Flower Tea has a light, subtle herbal character with gentle floral notes. Because the flavour is mild, you can enjoy it on its own or customise it with other ingredients. Our tea is also caffeine-free, making it suitable for any time of day.
Some of our customers specifically mention the colour, taste and flavour in their reviews. Of course, taste is personal, so your experience may be different.
Is Butterfly Pea Tea Bitter?
Not strongly. Pure butterfly pea has a much softer flavour than teas known for pronounced bitterness.
If you prefer a lighter cup, simply brew it for less time or use a little more water.
Does Blue Tea Taste Like Green Tea?
Not really.
Green tea usually has a more grassy and vegetal profile, while butterfly pea is softer and more floral. And unlike traditional green tea, our Butterfly Pea Flower Tea contains zero caffeine.
How Can I Make Blue Tea Taste Better Without Sugar?
Our favourite way is simple: add lemon.
Lemon gives butterfly pea tea a bright, citrusy kick and makes the cup feel more refreshing. It also creates the beautiful blue-to-purple colour change that butterfly pea tea is known for.
You can also try mint, lemongrass or lavender if you want to experiment with different flavour profiles.
What Goes Well With Butterfly Pea Tea?
Butterfly pea's mild flavour makes it easy to pair:
-
Lemon: bright and zesty
-
Mint: cool and refreshing
-
Lemongrass: fresh and citrusy
-
Lavender: soft and floral
Our Simple Brew
Steep one Blue Tea teabag in hot water and adjust the brewing time to your preferred strength. Enjoy it warm or pour it over ice. Add a squeeze of lemon when you want something brighter and more refreshing.
At Blue Tea, we believe your everyday cup should be easy to enjoy, easy to customise and completely caffeine-free. Start with the pure flower. Then make it your own.
