Frequently asked questions

What does Blue Pea Green Tea taste like?

It has the mild, grassy notes of green tea with a subtle floral undertone from the blue pea flower. The flavor is light and slightly sweet, without bitterness when brewed correctly.

How do you brew Blue Pea Green Tea?

Use water at 175°F (80°C) — not boiling — and steep for 2–3 minutes. Use 1 teaspoon of loose blend per 8 oz cup. Oversteeping or boiling water will make it bitter. Lower water temperature preserves the delicate flavor and blue color.

Does the color change with lemon?

Yes. Adding lemon or other acidic ingredients turns the tea from blue to purple or pink. This is a natural pH reaction and safe to drink.

Is Blue Pea Green Tea caffeinated?

Yes, because it contains green tea leaves. Expect roughly 20–30 mg of caffeine per cup, about a quarter of a coffee's amount. For a caffeine-free blue tea, choose pure butterfly pea flower tea. If you are sensitive to caffeine, limit your intake or opt for a caffeine-free alternative.

What are the health benefits?

Both green tea and butterfly pea flower are rich in antioxidants called catechins and anthocyanins, respectively. These compounds may support overall wellness, but individual results vary and more research is needed.
