I picked out all the butterfly pea flowers before steeping because they taste terrible. And the flowers made up over half the leaf, so this tea has definitely not been a good value for me. This still brews up very dark, and the flavor is quite sour. It tastes like tart berries, and I also taste something much too savory. This one just ends up not working on any level for me. I’ve tried it three times, one of which was cold brewed, and I’m sorry to say I’m not a fan. I wish I could taste the papaya!
