On the outskirts of the capital of a province in Indonesia, there lived a man who was 35 years old. This man is married and has three children. One of them is a girl and two are sons. This man only wrestles in his garden in front of his house. Maybe it's more worth mentioning the house yard because it's not so large in area.

In the yard of his house, he planted various kinds of plants, some of which were for sale and some were for hatchery. These types of plants have ornamental plants and aromatherapy plants. But what caught my attention was a plant that could be turned into tea. Precisely blue tea. The plant is Butterfly Pea. Blue tea or tea from Butterfly Pea is rarely known by the general public because all this time what we are familiar with is black tea and green tea.

Then the dried flowers are brewed with hot water or warm water. It tastes sweeter when compared with green tea which tastes bitter. Like black tea and green tea, blue tea is also very much beneficial.
