About Sapphire Jasmine Needle Tin

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. Packed into elegant black tea tins, which also make a beautiful gift, the tea is protected from exposure to air, light, moisture and odour, and ensures that every cup is fresh and full of flavour.

 

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.

 

Cultivation & Processing

This White Silver Needle tea is cultivated in the high-altitude tea gardens of Guangxi Province. The young buds are handpicked in the spring before they open and then gently dried. This meticulous handpicking and careful processing contribute to the exceptional quality of this tea, which is then transported to beds of jasmine flowers for scenting.

 

How to Enjoy

Enjoy this unique Blue Tea at any time of the day. Its delicate, sweet flavour pairs beautifully with fruit salad, cheesecakes, pastries. For a refreshing twist, try it chilled with a splash of lemon (see our Iced Tea recipe here) and a hint of honey.
