WHAT IS BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER?
The butterfly pea flower is derived from a plant that is indigenous to most Southeast Asian countries. It is known for its cognitive, energy, beauty, and anti-inflammatory benefits. The taste is slightly woody and earthy, pairing well with matcha!
SHOULD I ADD COLLAGEN TO MY LATTE?
Adding collagen to this latte is totally optional. If you’re on the fence about adding it, here’s what collagen is good for:
- Keeps bones & joints healthy
- Promotes skin elasticity
- Boosts gut health
- Strengthens hair and nails
To add the collagen, you can either dissolve it with the matcha shot, butterfly pea powder and water, or add it at the end and stir it in.
