We’ve all been through the fad of green tea, white tea, and even black tea. But there is a new tea in town, blue tea and it might be kicking ass at being the healthiest. It goes by the name of Butterfly pea flower tea and is a herbal tea which is 100% caffeine free. Not only is it gorgeous, it is made from an infusion of Clitoria Ternatea plant and dried Lemongrass leaves. Though it was just a dye for a really long time, because of its strong colours (remember not to spill it on your white shirt), it has finally hit popularity because of its health benefits. Here are ways in which it helps and why you should switch to blue tea asap.
1. Antioxidants
Similar to other herbal teas, Blue tea has antioxidants which help detox your body and lead to other health benefits. It fights cell-damaging free radicals and prevents your body from developing toxins.
2. Energizing, Boosts Brain Activity
