Clitoria ternatea, clitoria flower, blue pea, butterfly pea, whole

Clitoria flower, blue pea or butterfly pea is a tropical climbing plant from the legume family. The perennial plant forms striking, butterfly-shaped flowers in deep blue, which grow individually in the leaf axils and are traditionally used in South and Southeast Asia as a natural colouring agent and for culinary and medicinal purposes.

In Ayurveda, Clitoria ternatea/ Shankhpushpi/ Aparajita is known as Medhya Rasayana and is traditionally used to relieve stress, to promote restful sleep and to treat fever and inflammatory processes.

For legal reasons, we would like to point out that the butterfly pea is not authorised as a foodstuff in the EU and we are therefore unfortunately not permitted to offer you the herb for preparation as a tea. Therefore, please read the following note:
