Clitoria ternatea dried flowers, known as Butterfly Pea Flower (Bunga Telang), are widely used across Bali, Indonesia, Thailand, and India as a calming, antioxidant-rich herbal tea. The flowers contain anthocyanins (especially ternatins), flavonoids, peptides, and polyphenols, giving the tea its deep blue color and health-supportive properties.
Research shows benefits for cognitive function, antioxidant activity, stress relief, eye support, metabolic balance, circulation, and cytotoxic activity against several cancer cell lines.
