Butterfly Pea Flower & Hibiscus Flower Tea Set

Butterfly Pea Flower & Hibiscus Flower Tea: The Herbal Tisanes Everyone’s Raving About!

The Butterfly Pea Flower makes for quite an interesting cup of tea.  Add 5-6 dried flowers into your Tea Infuser and add some boiling water. That’s it! The steep releases a vivid deep blue hue that is beautiful to watch.  The infusion creates an aroma similar to green tea but more woody and earthy to the palate.  Add some fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice and the blue shade turns violet.  It’s impossible not to stare down at your cup as the colors are too pretty to ignore. And this peculiar little flower is loaded with healthy benefits, making it highly popular among tea enthusiasts.

Agua de Jamaica which translates as “hibiscus water” is a typical agua fresca to accompany the mid-day meal in Mexico. It is sweet, tart, delicious and really refreshing all at the same time. Hibiscus Tea is an herbal tea that’s made by steeping parts of the hibiscus plant in boiling water and has been used around the world for centuries. It has a tart flavor similar to that of cranberries and can be enjoyed both hot and cold. We like it plain, but you can add your favorite sweetener to taste. Hibiscus tea is rich in powerful antioxidants and may therefore help prevent damage and disease caused by the buildup of free radicals.
