So there I was, swiping late-night reels on herbal tea (as one does) and kept running into this mythical blue tea that changed color to purple when lemon juice was added to it. Yup—butterfly pea flower tea. It's not only Instagrammable, but it's also full of goodness too. And now, you can actually find organic butterfly tea in Pakistan without going through hoops.
Let me explain to you what the buzz is all about—and where to buy it online without getting scammed or receiving some stale flower in a ziplock package (done that).
What Even Is Butterfly Tea?
Butterfly tea—otherwise known as Butterfly Pea Flower Tea—is produced using dried blue flower petals of a blooming plant named Clitoria ternatea (creepy name, I realize).
It's decaf, it tastes kinda earthy like (imagine sorta pale green tea but with flowers), and the color changes to bright purple if you add a squeeze of lemon. Essentially. magic in a glass.
Why People Can't Get Enough (Aside from the Color)
Full of Antioxidants
It contains high amounts of anthocyanins, the same antioxidant compounds that exist in blueberries. Your skin and brain appreciate it.
Reduces Stress
Lots of people have it before bed to relax. It's soothing and alleviates that post-day brain haze.
Eye & Hair Health
Others claim to have better eyesight and stronger hair from it. No guarantees, but sure, I'll take it.
It Changes Color
Okay yes, this isn't a "health benefit," but when you squeeze lemon in and it turns from blue to purple—come on, that's just awesome.
Where to Buy Organic Butterfly Tea in Pakistan
Okay, here are some local ones that won't drain your wallet (or your conscience):
1. PansariOnline.com.pk
They're doing a good job with herbal things, tbh. Their butterfly tea is actually blue, not some old dusty brown stuff. Plus, cheap af.
2. Daraz.pk
There are tons of sellers on here. Just. read reviews before you click "buy". I mean, trust me.
3. Organic Shop PK
Kinda on the pricier end but usually has clean, well-packed herbs.
4. Bagallery
Sometimes stocks imported options, especially if you're into pretty packaging.
How to Make Butterfly Tea (It's Easy, Promise)
Here's how I make it on a lazy weekday night:
- Take 5–6 dried petals (or 1 tsp if crushed)
- Pour hot water (not boiling hot, just shy of 100°C)
- Steep for 5–7 mins
- Add lemon juice if you want color-changing fun
- Sweeten with honey or drink it plain
Iced coffee version? Brew it, chill it, and pour over ice. Add mint for extra credit.
