This summer try out this at-home tea mocktail with Fraser Tea Yuzu Blue Passion Fruit Organic Herbal Tea. This refreshing summer mocktail with butterfly pea flowers is unique for its quality as a PH sensitive butterfly pea drink. When you mix the ingredients, you will get to see the color of the drink change from blue to a pink-purple mix. While also being a cool drink it is a refreshing caffeine-free iced tea and a healthy summer mocktail.

What are Butterfly Pea Flowers?

Our Yuzu Blue Passion Fruit Organic Herbal Tea is made with butterfly pea flowers from the Clitoria Ternatea plant. This little blue pea flower is sometimes also referred to as butterfly pea, blue pea, Aprajia, Cordofan pea, or blue tea flowers.

The stunning blue violet color is created when the blue flowers are soaked in water because it contains a pigment called anthocyanin. It’s nature’s natural dye. Fraser Tea does not add any additional dyes or colorings; this is a PH sensitive butterfly pea drink. This drink is all organic, all natural, and caffeine-free.

Because it is a PH sensitive butterfly pea drink, the colors we get and colors you get may be slightly different based on the PH of your water and the additions you make to your butterfly pea lemonade.
