Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

Why Blue Tea Color Changes?

The color changes are due to the new ingredients' effect on the pH level. When lemon is added, it increases the blue tea's acidity, resulting in a purplish color. The blue pea immediately turns red when you add hibiscus leaves. Its color-changing properties make it an excellent addition to an afternoon tea in your favorite tea shop with your friends.

What Is The Level Of Caffeine In The Blue Tea?
