Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from bulk buyers and export partners about this product.

What is butterfly pea flower (blue pea)?
Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea), also known as blue pea or blue pea flower, is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia and India. It produces vivid violet-blue flowers used as a natural food colourant, herbal tea, and functional ingredient. THS IMPEX sources dried butterfly pea flowers directly from Indian farms for bulk B2B export.
What gives butterfly pea tea its blue colour?
The blue colour of butterfly pea tea comes from anthocyanins — specifically ternatins — concentrated in the petals. These pigments are pH-sensitive: the brew appears blue in neutral water, turns purple with a slightly acidic ingredient, and shifts to pink or red when lemon juice is added. This makes butterfly pea flower a popular natural colourant for beverages, cocktails, and functional foods.
What are the common names for Clitoria ternatea?
Clitoria ternatea is sold under several names depending on the market: butterfly pea flower, blue pea, blue pea flower, butterfly pea tea, Asian pigeonwings, and Aparajita (in India). All refer to the same botanical species. When sourcing for export, buyers may use any of these synonyms — THS IMPEX supplies the same certified product regardless of the trade name used.
What industries use butterfly pea flower?
Butterfly pea flower is used across food & beverage (natural blue colourant for teas, cocktails, lattes, and confectionery), nutraceuticals (anthocyanin supplements), cosmetics (hair and skin care), and functional food manufacturing. Its clean-label, plant-based origin makes it a preferred alternative to synthetic blue dyes.
