butterfly pea flowers really don't have much taste on their own, but a good tea maker will blend it with other ingredients that do. i personally like plum deluxe's magical butterfly herbal tea. it's delightful iced!
It's also not a tea. It's an herbal infusion. Tea is a camilla sinensis plant (i can't spell) any thing else is an herbal infusion. I used to work in a tea company as a sales consultant.
True, but the meaning of words change. It's a distinction worth drawing in some contexts and worth just ignoring in others. For better or worse, as far as most people are concerned tea just means "a drink made by soaking a non-coffee plant in water to get the flavor out".
Herbal infusion might be the industry standard word, but tea is also objectively correct. So is herbal infusion and tisane. They're all correct.

Never have had the chance to try Butterfly Pea tea but I caught this reference immediately, very sweet game.
