"Blue Butterfly Pea – The Sapphire Blossom of Asia"
Origin & Harvest – Grown in the Heart of Tropical Asia
Our blue butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) comes from the sun-drenched fields of Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, where the warm tropical climate and mineral-rich soils provide ideal conditions for the growth of this vividly blue blossom. The plants are traditionally cultivated without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. After harvest, the flowers are carefully hand-picked and gently sun-dried to preserve their vibrant color and natural properties.
