The History of Blue Tea
The origin of butterfly pea tea dates back to the 16th century, when it was first discovered by a group of Buddhist monks in Thailand. They were traveling through the jungle and found these beautiful flowers that glowed blue at night. The monks decided to take some home with them and brew them as a refreshing drink for their journey. It is said that this drink helped keep them awake during their travels so they could continue chanting prayers throughout the night. Today, there are many different types of drinks made using butterfly pea tea including Thai iced coffee!
