Blue Moon Tea – Butterfly Pea Flower & Lavender Green Tea | Lluvia Tea

Blue Moon is a butterfly pea flower blend that brews deep indigo and turns violet the moment you add lemon. The colour shift is real chemistry, not a dye — butterfly pea anthocyanins change hue with pH. Lluvia builds the blend on Assam green tea and finishes it with lavender, which makes it a tea you can drink late in the evening.

What's in the Blend

• Butterfly pea flower (Aparajita) — the Indian cultivar, with a deeper colour response than the Thai import used in most blue teas
• Lavender — floral and calming on the finish, and the reason this works as an evening cup
• Assam green tea — processed close to harvest, giving the blend a fresh, grassy base rather than an aged one

How to Brew

Steep 2.5g in 250ml of boiled water for 3-4 minutes and watch the blue develop. Add lemon or lime to shift it to purple. Serve hot, or over ice with mint.

FAQs

Why does the tea change colour?

Butterfly pea flower contains anthocyanins, pigments that shift hue as acidity changes. Adding lemon lowers the pH and turns the blue to violet.

Is it caffeinated?

Lightly — the green tea base carries caffeine, though less than a black tea.

What does it taste like?

Mild and floral. The butterfly pea itself is close to neutral, so the lavender and green tea carry the flavour.

Can I drink it cold?

Yes. It works well iced, and the colour shows better in a clear glass.
