Butterfly Pea Green Tea: Colour and Taste

Explore the blue flower blend as a drink: a mild floral cup, a green-tea base and a colour change with lemon.

Blue Flower Green Tea — Nevisan pouch and tea scene

Begin with a clear cup

A glass cup makes the colour easy to see. Brew according to the pouch and strain before tasting. Our blend has a soft floral character alongside green tea. Colour alone will not tell you whether the tea is ready; use the timer and your taste.

A little lemon changes the cup

Butterfly pea pigments respond to acidity. A small squeeze of lemon can move the colour towards purple while adding a sharper flavour. Add it gradually, tasting between additions rather than starting with a full lemon.

Hot or over ice

Try a plain hot cup first, then cool a fresh brew and pour it over ice. Ice dilutes the drink, so adjust the amount of tea on your next attempt if it tastes too light. The green-tea base naturally contains caffeine.
