Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, Vanilla Midnight - 1.06 oz
Bigelow has been blending tea for three generations, and this one starts with a flower most people have never seen brewed: butterfly pea, hand-plucked from the vines of a family-run garden in the Thai countryside and sun-dried to hold its color. Steeped alone it turns water a deep indigo blue; blended here with vanilla and cinnamon, plus chamomile, lavender, and red clover, it becomes a wind-down cup with nothing sharp or bitter about it.
- Steeps hot for an evening cup, or cold over ice — add a splash of lemon or lime and watch the color shift from blue toward violet-pink, a visible reaction (not a flavor change) worth doing in front of kids.
- Butterfly pea flower is hand-harvested at a single family garden in Thailand and sun-dried, not machine-processed — the kind of sourcing detail grocery-aisle blends rarely disclose.
- Naturally caffeine-free and Kosher certified, with each of the 18 bags individually wrapped to keep the blend from picking up moisture or fading between brews.
Bigelow has been family-run for three generations, and this blend reflects that: an ingredient list you can read in one breath, built around a flower prized for centuries for the color it releases in water. The butterfly pea flower itself is hand-picked and sun-dried at a family-run garden in the Thai countryside before it ever reaches the blend.
Butterfly Pea Flower Vanilla Midnight pairs that indigo-blue blossom with vanilla and cinnamon, then rounds it out with chamomile, sweet blackberry leaves, red clover tops, lavender, nutmeg, and blueberry fiber. The box holds 18 individually wrapped bags -- 1.06 oz total -- so each bag stays sealed and fresh until you're ready to brew it.
Steep 4 minutes for a full-strength cup before bed, or let it cool and pour over ice. Because butterfly pea flower's anthocyanin pigments are pH-sensitive, a squeeze of lemon or lime turns this color-changing tea from blue to pink to violet in seconds -- the same chemistry, just a different acidity, no dye or additive involved.
Naturally caffeine-free, gluten-free, and Kosher, this herbal tea is an any-time-of-day cup for anyone avoiding stimulants at night, and with zero calories or added sugar it fits easily into keto or paleo routines. Store the box in a dry pantry away from direct heat or light to keep the flowers and flavor from fading before you've worked through all 18 bags.
Ingredients: Chamomile, Butterfly Pea Flower, Cinnamon, Sweet Blackberry Leaves, Red Clover Tops, Natural Vanilla Flavors With Other Natural Flavors, Blueberry Fiber, Lavender, and Nutmeg.
Common Questions
How does this compare nutritionally to a conventional caffeinated tea?
A cup of black or green tea typically carries 30-50 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving, along with tannins that can cause bitterness if oversteeped. This blend has zero caffeine because it's built from chamomile, cinnamon, and butterfly pea flower rather than Camellia sinensis leaves, so there's no stimulant to disrupt sleep even after a full 5-7 minute steep. It also carries no calories, sugar, or carbohydrates per serving, the same nutritional profile you'd get from plain water, just with color and aromatics added by the botanicals themselves.
What actually makes the liquid change color, and is it safe?
Butterfly pea flower contains anthocyanins, the same class of pigment compounds found in red cabbage and blueberries, and their molecular structure shifts depending on the pH of the liquid around them. In the neutral water used to brew tea, the anthocyanins reflect blue-indigo wavelengths; add an acid like lemon or lime juice and the pH drop reshapes the pigment molecules so they reflect red-violet wavelengths instead. It's the identical reaction that turns red cabbage water pink with vinegar, just visible here because the flower's pigment concentration is high. No dye, additive, or artificial color is involved.
Does this fit keto, paleo, or carnivore eating patterns?
For keto and paleo, yes: the blend has zero grams of carbohydrates, zero sugar, and zero calories per brewed cup, so it won't affect ketosis or blood sugar, and every listed ingredient is a whole botanical (chamomile, cinnamon, lavender, nutmeg, blueberry fiber) rather than a processed additive. It's also gluten-free. Carnivore is a different story since the diet by definition excludes plant matter, and this tea is entirely plant-based, so it falls outside a strict carnivore protocol even though it's caffeine-free and clean-label.
Can I use this for anything besides drinking it hot or over ice?
Yes. Steeping a few bags in a small amount of hot water and letting it cool gives you a naturally blue liquid that works as a food-safe coloring base for rice, ice cubes, popsicles, or simple syrups, and a squeeze of citrus shifts it toward pink or violet if you want a color-changing effect in a drink or dessert. Because it's caffeine-free, it also makes a reasonable substitute in recipes calling for herbal tea reductions, like a butterfly-pea glaze or a lavender-vanilla poaching liquid, without adding stimulant content. Steep time and bag count control the depth of color, so more bags or longer steeping produce a deeper blue before you add any acid.
What do the certifications on this box actually mean?
The product carries Kosher certification, meaning it's been reviewed against Kosher dietary standards by a certifying body, and it's produced under Certified B Corporation status, which means the manufacturer has met third-party standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency, verified through B Lab's assessment process. It's also made by a business-owner-operated manufacturer using renewable energy in production. None of these are claims about the tea's health effects; they describe the company's operating standards and the product's religious dietary compliance, and both can be verified through the Kosher certifying agency's and B Lab's public directories.
What does it mean that this comes straight from the farm that raised it?
Bigelow has been family-run for three generations, and the botanicals in this blend, including the butterfly pea flower, chamomile, and blackberry leaves, are grown and processed under that continuous family oversight rather than passing through a long chain of unrelated brokers and blenders. That's part of why the ingredient list stays short and readable: fewer hands touching the product between field and box means fewer opportunities for fillers or unnecessary additives to get introduced. It doesn't mean the farm grows every single ingredient on-site, but it does mean the company sourcing and blending these botanicals has direct, long-term accountability for what ends up in the bag.
