Blue tea: The brightly coloured beverage you probably haven’t heard of

Green tea and black tea are common, but how about trying the blue tea? This variant not only gives you a good taste but provides plenty of health benefits too.
Kausshal Dugarr, Founder and CEO of Teabox.com, lists health benefits of blue tea:

* Antioxidant properties: One of the most prominent benefits of drinking blue tea is that it has a lot of antioxidants. These powerful bio-compounds help the body fight free radicals which are toxic and cause premature ageing. It is a good idea to detox the body once in a while with an antioxidant-rich drink like blue pea tea.

* Anti-diabetic properties: A cup of blue butterfly tea taken in between meals will inhibit the intake of glucose from the diet and lower blood sugar. Antioxidants in the tea also help the body lower risk of infections, which diabetics are prone to, and it is also great for your heart health.

* For hair, skin: The antioxidants in a cup of blue tea are great for hair and skin. This tea also has many vitamins and minerals which keeps your skin and hair looking great as it keeps them from ageing prematurely.

* Energises and boosts brain activity: Blue pea is proven to be a nootropic. That means it refreshes the brain and boosts its activity and function. This will keep you energised and feeling great.
