What Happens When You Start Drinking Butterfly Pea Tea Every Day?
Most of us sip tea for comfort — a moment of warmth between work emails or to wind down before bed. But what if that daily cup could do more?
Butterfly Pea tea — known for its vivid indigo hue and calming, antioxidant-rich nature — is gaining fans across Australia. It’s not just pretty. It’s powerful. And when enjoyed consistently, its benefits go well beyond the teacup.
At Soul Sip & Co, we include this magical bloom in blends like Ascend, pairing it with complementary herbs like peppermint and lemongrass. But this tea isn’t just about flavour — it’s about how it makes you feel.
Here’s what you may notice when Butterfly Pea becomes part of your everyday wellness.
1. Your Skin Might Start to Glow
Butterfly Pea is rich in anthocyanins, potent antioxidants that help your body fight oxidative stress — one of the main causes of premature ageing. These compounds also support collagen production, helping skin stay elastic, hydrated, and smooth.
A 2008 study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that extracts of Clitoria ternatea enhanced skin cell regeneration and resilience — offering a natural, gentle way to nourish your glow (Mukherjee et al.).
2. You Could Feel Calmer, Clearer, and More Grounded
Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Thai herbal traditions, Butterfly Pea has gentle mood-lifting properties. It’s known to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and tension without sedating the mind — perfect for winding down or regaining focus during busy days.
Research has shown that Butterfly Pea has anxiolytic effects, supporting nervous system balance without heavy side effects (Vajragupta et al., 2003).
3. You May Notice Sharper Focus and Better Recall
This blue brew is often used as a brain tonic thanks to its effects on acetylcholine—a key neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning.
Whether you’re working, studying, or doing creative work, a cup of Butterfly Pea tea can help clear mental fog and improve alertness — without the caffeine jitters.
4. Your Hair Could Feel Healthier
The same antioxidant profile that supports skin also extends to the scalp and hair follicles. With regular sipping, Butterfly Pea may:
- Strengthen roots and stimulate growth
- Improve blood circulation in the scalp
- Reduce irritation and dryness
All of which contribute to shinier, stronger, happier hair.

5. You Might Look Forward to Tea Time More Than Ever
There’s something playful and grounding about watching Butterfly Pea tea change colour. Add a splash of lemon, and it shifts from deep blue to vibrant violet — a small daily delight that brings you back into the moment.
This isn’t just tea. It’s a pause button.
And to support your mental calm even further, every Soul Sip tea comes with a free guided meditation. Just scan the QR code on the pouch and breathe into a few minutes of quiet, with your cup as your anchor.
So… What Really Happens When You Sip It Daily?
You might feel a bit more glowy. A bit more clear. A bit more present.
You might find that five minutes with a cup of blue tea becomes the most peaceful part of your day.
And the best part? It’s gentle, natural, and caffeine-free — making it easy to integrate into your lifestyle without needing to overhaul anything.
