Tea is one of the most widely used beverages in the world. While people enjoy having black tea, milk tea and green tea, have you heard about blue tea?
The beverage is prepared from the blossoms of the Clitoria ternatea plant (also called Asian pigeonwings) and has a strong blue hue.
Blue tea is totally herbal, naturally caffeine-free and an incredible source of antioxidants just like green tea.
But blue tea is made of flowers instead of tea leaves and unlike green tea, it is caffeine-free.
Here are the five known benefits of blue tea.
Blue tea is a healthy drink for people with diabetes. It helps to control an individual’s blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of diabetes and related diseases as it is rich in antioxidants.
Almonds have components which help to boost memory. The same goes for blue tea as well as it can help to improve the health of the brain and help to fight against depression and anxiety.
Drinking blue tea can also promote eye health and lower the risk of developing eye diseases like retinal damage, macular degeneration, glaucoma and blurred vision.
The antioxidants in blue tea also help in gut health as they help to relax the stomach muscles, boost metabolism and prevent worms from growing.
