About Sapphire Jasmine Needle

All the sophistication and elegance of a classic white Silver Needle tea with a dramatic visual twist. The mesmerising blue hue of this infusion comes from the Butterfly Pea flower. Sapphire Jasmine Needle Tea, also known as Blue Tea or Butterfly Pea Tea, stands out with its natural sweetness, complemented by a gentle, floral aroma and subtle jasmine notes. This tea is enjoyed primarily in Southeast Asia and Africa, traditionally served with honey and lemon, which enhances its deep cobalt blue colour. A unique feature of this tea is its ability to change colour based on pH levels—a splash of lemon transforms the tea into a vibrant violet.


About Butterfly Pea

The Butterfly Pea plant, scientifically known as Clitoria ternatea, is renowned for its striking blue flowers. Today, it is found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide and is widely used, particularly as a decorative climbing plant. In the kitchen, the flowers are often used as a natural food colouring to tint dishes and drinks in brilliant shades of blue or violet.


Effects

In Ayurvedic medicine, Butterfly Pea is valued for its adaptogenic properties, which help to calm the body and reduce stress. Rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, the tea may help protect cells from oxidative damage and support heart health. Additionally, it is used to enhance cognitive function and improve memory. Its anti-inflammatory properties boost the immune system and promote overall well-being. In Ayurvedic practices, it is also used to improve vision and soothe the eyes. It is also believed to promote skin health and strengthen hair.


How to enjoy

Enjoy this unique Blue Tea at any time of the day. Its delicate, sweet flavour pairs beautifully with light, floral-inspired desserts like lavender cookies or jasmine macarons. For a refreshing twist, try it chilled with a splash of lemon and a hint of honey.
