Dried flowers from the Clitoria ternatea plant. The tea brews a vivid, electric blue — genuinely striking in a glass cup. Add a splash of lemon juice and it transforms to purple right in front of you. That colour change alone makes it a conversation piece and a beautiful thing to watch.
The flavour is mild and earthy with a subtle floral sweetness. It's caffeine-free, rich in antioxidants, and traditionally used to support cognitive function and calm the mind. Works beautifully as an iced tea in summer.
Brewing: 1–2 teaspoons per cup. Boiling water. Steep for 4–6 minutes. Add lemon for the colour change. Caffeine-free.
Why I chose this
Honestly — this one is in the range because of how it looks. That blue is extraordinary, and the moment it turns purple when you add lemon is the kind of small, beautiful thing that makes tea more than just a drink. It's also the one people photograph and share, which doesn't hurt.
