Mermaid latte feels 🐬🐚💦 served in a coconut, the island way 🌴 @nutraorganics just released this new superfood latte, and it's got to be my fav yet 🙌🏼😻 A blend of sea minerals, adaptogenic herbs, spirulina and butterfly pea 💫 try the new mermaid latte with my code 'ELSA20' for 20% off #nutraorganics #mermaidlatte

Unlike traditional matcha which is made from the leaves of green tea – blue matcha comes from the dried flowers of the butterfly pea plant. 

“Blue matcha isn’t actually anything like green matcha (apart from that it’s a powder and it’s confusingly called the same!” author of the Low Fad Diet and dietician Jo Travers told Metro UK.

It’s also significantly lower in caffeine and has an entirely different antioxidant profile, but it does have some health perks of its own.

According to retailer Blue Chai, it improves overall cell health and contains Proanthocyanidin which increases the collagen and elasticity in our skin and protects it from free radicals. Similar to green tea, it’s also said to improve eye health, memory, hair strength and reduce stress.

Plus, when it’s added to smoothies, desserts, chia pudding or chocolate it throws serious mermaid vibes.

But before you start sipping blue matcha like it’s water, it’s important to note that at this stage the research is pretty limited.

“Although blue matcha may contain some antioxidants and looks pretty on Instagram, I would stick to green matcha if it’s the health benefits you are after,” Jo added.
