Do you guys remember the unicorn craze last year? Bright pinks and blues and purples appeared in all sorts of foods, from frappuccinos to bagels to even grilled cheese!
I love bright colors but when it comes to food, I hesitate because most of those colors come from food colorings and dyes which can be rather toxic.
But… what if I told you that there’s a plant called butterfly pea that can literally change colors when mixed with liquid with no dyes involved?!
A natural way to taste the rainbow!
When Adagio Teas asked me to try out their new tea blend called Bella Luna Blue Tea, I leapt at the chance! I’ve been wanting to try butterfly pea tea for such a long time and now I get to try a version made by one of my favorite tea companies!
I’ve tried their teas in the past and absolutely loved them. You can read my reviews here!
My favorite part of the Bella Luna Blue Tea (besides its really cool color-changing abilities) is the flavor. It tastes like blueberries! It is magic in a cup.
Seriously, just watch these gifs we made:
Butterfly pea tea changes colors according to the pH of whatever it is mixed with, so the sky’s the limit as to all the cool things you can create with it. It starts out light blue, then after some lemon juice is added, it turns purple and then magenta! Add some honey and it turns back into a gorgeous indigo. Want to turn it bright red? Add some organic hibiscus.
Magic. It is pure magic, in all of its technicolor glory.
Or in this case, nature. Butterfly pea is officially the coolest plant ever.
