{"product_id":"butterfly-pea-flower-whole-dried","title":"Butterfly Pea Flower | Whole Dried Flowers | Clitoria ternatea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eButterfly Pea Flower has been treasured for centuries across Southeast Asia — in Thailand, Malaysia, and the Ayurvedic tradition of India — as both a ceremonial dye plant and a revered botanical tonic. Its vivid indigo blooms have colored rice, desserts, and ritual drinks for generations. Today, it has captured the imagination of the modern wellness world for the same reason it captivated ancient herbalists: that extraordinary, almost magical blue. Steep it in hot water and watch your cup fill with deep cobalt. Add a squeeze of lemon and watch it shift to violet and pink before your eyes. Butterfly Pea Flower is one of the rare herbs that is as beautiful to look at as it is beneficial to use.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Butterfly Pea Flower is whole dried flowers — the complete, intact blooms of Clitoria ternatea, carefully dried to preserve their vivid color and anthocyanin content. No stems, no filler, no artificial color. Just pure, whole flowers packed to order in small batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterfly Pea Flower is naturally caffeine-free and makes a stunning solo tea or a show-stopping base for blends.
