Butterfly Pea Flower

We source this rare Butterfly Pea Flower directly from Cartagena, Colombia. Steep in liquid at any temperature for a gorgeous deep indigo color; a 4-6 hour steep yields the most striking results. Add lemon (or any acid) and watch an instant color shift to purple or pink! Use in teas, cocktails, or creamy desserts. 

Sales of this product directly support the Granitos de Paz or "Grains of Peace" Foundation in the city of Cartagena to help support urban families gain food security and supplemental income by growing this plant (and others) on small patios (see below for more info). THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP UPLIFTING THESE FAMILIES!
