Much like green tea, blue pea tea is loaded with antioxidants. It does wonders for digestion, detox, beauty and as a brain booster. Blue pea flower, also known as Clitoria Ternatea is also used in Ayurvedic medicine. It lowers blood pressure and has anti-anxiety, anti-asthmatic and pain relieving properties. Combined with green tea, this becomes a herbal powerhouse.
