Butterfly Pea Flower – Premium Natural Blue Colorant & Antioxidant-Rich Herbal Tea

1. Introduction to Butterfly Pea Flower

Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a vibrant, blue perennial herb native to Southeast Asia. Famous for its striking cobalt-blue hue, it is widely used as a 100% natural food coloring agent and a powerhouse of health benefits.

One of its most fascinating properties is its color-changing ability: the blue extract turns into a beautiful royal purple when the pH level changes (such as adding lemon juice). Vinahugo offers premium dried whole flowers and fine powder, processed with advanced drying technology to preserve the brilliant color and high antioxidant content.
