Vivid Blue, Naturally Cultivated
Our butterfly pea flowers are grown mainly in the warm, fertile districts of Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari and Chitwan, where warm temperatures, rich soils and moderate rainfall create ideal conditions for deep, vibrant colour.
Farmers use sustainable practices with no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers — protecting the flower's natural purity and colour, the local ecosystem, and sustainable livelihoods.
The result is a clean, traceable, brilliantly blue product ready for the global wellness and beverage market.

Why does butterfly pea tea change colour?
Butterfly pea flower is rich in anthocyanins, which act as a natural pH indicator. Brewed on its own the tea is a deep sapphire blue; add an acid like lemon or lime and it shifts to purple and then pink-magenta. It's a completely natural reaction, which is why it's so popular in teas and cocktails.
What forms do you supply?
We supply dried whole flowers (the classic blue-tea form), finely milled butterfly pea powder for instant colour, and cut-and-sifted grade sized for tea bags and blends. Tell us your application and we'll recommend the right form.
Is butterfly pea tea caffeine-free?
Yes. Butterfly pea flower makes a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea, which is part of its appeal for all-day and evening drinks as well as colour-changing beverages.
How is it grown and processed?
