This beverage has certainly made its mark online under the name "Earth Latte". The green matcha symbolizes the grass, while the blue butterfly pea stands in for the sky, evoking images of our planet. The matcha merges harmoniously with sweet vanilla sugar, and the butterfly pea is subtly infused with a hint of cinnamon, creating a drink that is truly delightful.

What is butterfly pea powder?

Hey Laurie, butterfly pea powder is a blue powder made from the dried flowers of the butterfly pea plant. It's known for its vibrant blue colour 💙

Very delicious and just absolutely stunning to the eye. I wasn’t a fan of the cinnamon in it though, so I’ll remove it if I make this one again.

I never really liked matcha but I think it's because I haven't tried it in anything other than coffee which I don't like either 😅 I made one serving which was absolutely delicious 🤤 I only have dried butterfly pea flowers so I crushed it up as much as I could then scooped up 1 teaspoon which I think made my part of the tea look much more blue than the picture.

This is a lovely drink with a fresh and unusual taste. If you're past iced lemonade give this a go.
I would add, that using two jars to prep the powders is unnecessary. The visual is more stunning, but it tastes better once it's been stirred anyway. Unless you're into the aesthetics, just use one jar to mix all ingredients, it's faster and the colour is still amazing.

finally, a nice way to use up some butterfly pea powder I have and it was a super tasty drink too!

Delicious and beautiful! This is the first time I’ve tried butterfly pea powder and I’m officially a fan.

ps - I actually don’t know much about matcha or butterfly pea powder - could you explain some of the health benefits of each? Thanks so much!

PUL Team - Sept. 28, 2023, 4:38 p.m.

Hey Colette, thanks for the kind words and question! Matcha is a type of green tea that's ground into a powder. It's known for its health benefits because it's packed with antioxidants, which are substances that can help protect the cells in our body from damage. Matcha also contains a substance called L-theanine, which is thought to promote relaxation and improve focus.

Butterfly pea powder is made from dried butterfly pea flowers. It's known for its vibrant blue colour 💙 While it doesn't have as much research as matcha, it's believed to have antioxidants which can help fight stress in the body. Some early research also reports its potential to support hair and skin health. We hope this helps for now!
