Anchan Tea (Buttlefly Pea Flower Tea)

Dinner @ "Doi Ka Noi", a fiercely authentic Laotian restaurant in Vientiane.

 

Butterfly Pea Flower Tea took much of Singapore by storm late last year/early this year but the fad is ebbing now. A naturally bluish/purplish tea which turns pink with acidity (eg: lemon juice) - cool colour shifter! The flower is available throughout Southeast Asia and used as an infusion is many parts of Indochina.

 

It has a sweet and mild herbaceous tone....a little like Camomile but less floral and less earthy/musty.
