Blue Ninja (aka blue matcha) consists of 100% pure and organic Blue Butterfly Pea Powder.
These flowers are bright blue in color and make for the most gorgeous, naturally blue tea. They have a mild, floral taste which makes blue matcha perfect and versatile for adding to all sorts of different drinks + baked goods.
The benefits of Blue Matcha are vast and you can learn more about them in detail here, but today we want to highlight one of the reasons Butterfly Pea has been so widely celebrated and cherished in South East Asia for centuries— and that is for how it helps improve vitality and healthy aging!
How Blue Matcha Supports Healthy Aging
1. Increases acetylcholine levels in the brain
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that diminishes naturally with age. Low levels have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia. (1) It has been shown that sipping on Blue Butterfly Pea Flowers regularly can actually help increase acetylcholine levels. This helps support improved memory and coordination which can be very supportive especially as we get older. (2)
2. Antioxidants that reduce cellular damage + oxidative stress
You can tell by the natural color of Blue Ninja that there are some serious phytonutrients in it.
The deep color of Blue Ninja signifies the presence of antioxidants such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, and phenolic compounds. These are known to help combat free-radicals in the body. They help fight age-accelerating stress by quenching the inflammation that causes it. So awesome.
3. Calms the nervous system
Another reason that blue matcha is widely loved in Traditional Asian Medicine is for its nervine supportive properties. This means it helps nourish the nervous system and support balance in the mind and also circulation.
Since Blue Ninja is caffeine-free, it’s a wonderful tea to enjoy towards the end of the day to help wind down both physically and emotionally. We always say that stress isn’t a bad thing as long as you give your body what it needs to recover from it. Healthy stress-management tools and habits play an important role in general health and healthy aging.
If you needed another reason to love blue matcha, these are three you can consider next time you brew up a pretty blue iced drink or cozy Blue Ninja latte.
What a beautiful and delicious way to nourish your brain and body while encouraging a natural sense of calm + vitality in the body.
