BOTANICAL PROFILE

What Is Butterfly Pea Flower?

Butterfly pea is the flower of Clitoria ternatea, a tropical climbing plant known for its vivid blue petals. When steeped, the dried flowers produce a naturally blue infusion. The colour comes from anthocyanin pigments in the petals.

Leafy Ceylon prepares export-ready butterfly pea ingredients for buyers seeking a distinctive botanical for teas, beverages, food development and branded retail products. Available forms depend on the required application, batch and processing specification.

  • Botanical name: Clitoria ternatea
  • Origin: Sri Lanka
  • Ingredient: dried blue flower petals
  • Colour: blue to deep indigo, with natural batch variation

PRODUCT FORMS

Choose the Format for Your Application

Tell us your end use, target quantity and preferred particle size. We will confirm availability and the appropriate specification.

Whole Dried Flowers

Visually distinctive whole flowers for loose-leaf tea, infusions, garnishing and premium retail packs.

Petals and Tea-Cut

Broken petals or a controlled tea-cut can support blending, faster infusion and efficient filling.

Butterfly Pea Powder

Milled powder is available on request according to batch availability and the buyer’s fineness specification.

NATURAL COLOUR

A Blue Botanical with a pH-Responsive Colour

Butterfly pea flowers release a vivid blue colour in water. When acidity increases, such as with the addition of lemon or another acidic ingredient, the colour can move toward purple or pink. The final shade and intensity depend on concentration, extraction time, water quality, formulation and pH.

This makes butterfly pea popular for interactive drinks and visual product concepts. Buyers should validate stability in their own formulation, processing conditions and packaging.

Important Market Check

Regulatory treatment of butterfly pea and botanical colours differs by destination and end use. The importer or brand owner should confirm local requirements before commercial launch.

We can provide available product and shipment documents to support your review. This information is not a substitute for market-specific regulatory advice.
