Sight and smell

Butterfly Pea Flower consists of beautiful, elongated, whole flower buds: its electric blue petals with indigo hues end in a light green, bell-shaped calyx. Once infused, the flowers give off sweet, vegetal notes reminiscent of fresh fava beans and creamed peas. In the cup, the liquor is deep blue, transparent and bright: just add a few drops of lemon and you can admire it as it changes color from blue to violet and then to pink.

Tasting Notes

The liquor made from Butterfly Pea Flower flowers has a sweet flavor of mashed fava beans and creamed peas, very refreshing and completely free of astringency despite the slightly herbaceous finish. The body is of medium density and leaves a pleasant vegetal aftertaste on the palate.

The plant of the Butterfly Pea Flower, Clitoria Ternatea

Anchan, as this blue flower is called in Thailand, has many different names around the world: papilionaceous pea, “Butterfly pea,” blue Matcha-or in Latin: Clitoria Ternatea. This plant, which belongs to the genus Vicia, is a persistent element of natural medicine in Asia. The positive effects are attributed to its flowers and roots. In Ayurvedic medicine, the infusion obtained from this blue flower is used for memory improvement, against stress, and as a mood enhancer.

But Anchan is also simply fun: the deep blue color emerges best by infusing it in boiling water inside a glass vessel. It only takes a few flowers to color a cup deep blue – children love it as a refreshing drink with a bright blue color! A squeeze of lemon (or other acid ph beverage) colors the tea purple, while alkaline additives make it glow green.
