The Kombucha That Changes Colour in the Glass.
Butterfly Pea Kombucha is WiskTea Recipe's most visually dramatic brew — a deep indigo that shifts to violet the moment lemon meets the pour. No dye. No tricks. Pure botanical chemistry at work.
Butterfly pea flower has been prized across Southeast Asia for centuries — for its vivid natural pigment, its clean earthy floral character, and its quiet elegance as an ingredient. Here, it is brewed into a small-batch kombucha alongside green tea and fresh lemon: a trio that is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink.
On the palate, it is light and aromatic. A mildly earthy floral note from the butterfly pea flower opens first, brightened by a fresh citrus zing from real lemon, and grounded by the clean, grassy freshness of green tea. The finish is crisp, light-bodied, and gently tangy — the kind of drink you pause to look at before the first sip.

For those who believe a drink should be an experience.
- A natural colour-changing brew — the deep indigo shifts to violet when lemon acidity interacts with butterfly pea flower's natural pigment; zero artificial colouring involved
- Southeast Asian botanical heritage — butterfly pea flower has been used across the region for generations; this is its most refined expression in kombucha form
- Light and approachable — one of the gentler profiles in the WiskTea Recipe range; floral without being heavy, citrus-bright without being sharp
- Visually stunning — in the glass, in a cocktail, in a flat lay; this bottle photographs as well as it drinks
- Clean label, zero shortcuts — no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, no synthetic additives of any kind
- Naturally fizzy — live SCOBY fermentation produces real carbonation, not added CO₂
Best served well-chilled. Refrigerate before serving and pour into a clear glass to fully appreciate the colour. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon to trigger the indigo-to-violet shift — a simple, striking table moment.
Before opening: Gently invert the bottle once to redistribute any settled culture. Do not shake — natural carbonation builds pressure and shaking may cause overflow. Open slowly, releasing pressure gradually before pouring.
Suggested pairings:
- Light Asian fare — steamed fish, rice dishes, dim sum
- Floral desserts — lavender panna cotta, lychee jelly, yuzu tart
- Mocktail base — pour over ice with fresh lemon, mint, and a splash of coconut water
- Afternoon tea — pairs beautifully with delicate finger sandwiches and light pastries
Serving occasions: Wellness rituals, social gatherings, gifting, content creation, afternoon refreshment
Storage: Keep refrigerated at 4–7°C at all times. Consume within 7 days of opening. Keeps for up to 6 months when stored chilled.
