What is Butterfly Pea Tea?
Cha Tra Mue Jasmine Butterfly Pea Tea is a naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion made from butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea) blended with fragrant jasmine. This stunning blue tea has been enjoyed in Thailand for generations and is now a global sensation thanks to its mesmerising colour-changing properties — add a squeeze of lemon and watch it transform from deep blue to vibrant purple!
From ChaTraMue (ชาตรามือ), Thailand’s most trusted tea brand since 1945, this premium loose leaf blend delivers authentic Thai flavour in every cup. Perfect for creating eye-catching drinks at home, impressing guests, or simply enjoying a moment of calm.
This versatile tea can be enjoyed in many ways:
- Hot Butterfly Pea Tea — Brew and enjoy the natural blue colour with a delicate floral aroma
- Colour-Change Lemonade — Add lemon or lime and watch the magic happen as it turns purple
- Butterfly Pea Latte — Mix with milk for a creamy lavender-blue drink
- Iced Blue Tea — Perfect summer refreshment over ice with honey
- Cocktail Mixer — Natural colouring for gin, vodka, or mocktails
- Natural Food Colouring — Use in rice, desserts, or baked goods
Butterfly pea tea is one of Thailand’s most beautiful traditions — we call it “nam dok anchan.” The colour change never gets old! I love serving it to guests and watching their faces when I add the lemon. It’s pure magic.
