Cli­to­ria is one of the pop­u­lar herbal teas, which is com­pa­ra­ble in its ben­e­fits to the pop­u­lar matcha tea. More­over: it is even called the “blue match”, although this, if you look bet­ter, is not entire­ly true.

What is a clitoris?

Cli­to­ria or anchan is a plant that grows in Thai­land. Cli­to­ria bud tea is called nam dok anchan in Thai­land and is as pop­u­lar as reg­u­lar black tea here. Cli­to­ria is also enjoyed in India and many oth­er Asian coun­tries.

In order to make tea from the cli­toris, dried and bare­ly opened buds are tak­en, which col­or the infu­sion in a beau­ti­ful corn­flower blue col­or. If you add lemon to cli­to­ria tea, you can get a very beau­ti­ful pur­ple with a hint of pur­ple. The tea has a slight­ly strange grassy taste with metal­lic notes.

Also, the cli­toris can be used as a nat­ur­al dye: for noo­dles, sweets, cere­als or cock­tails.

How to drink anchan tea

This tea has an elu­sive and light taste, so you can be as cre­ative as pos­si­ble with it and exper­i­ment with com­bi­na­tions.

In Asia, for exam­ple, cane sug­ar is added to the cli­to­ria infu­sion: you can drink this drink both cold and hot, depend­ing on your desire.

You can also add coconut or almond milk to anchan to enjoy a del­i­cate creamy taste. In addi­tion, such tea will look beau­ti­ful in pho­tographs with its pas­tel blue tint.

They also like to add spices and var­i­ous syrups to the cli­toris. The most deli­cious and refresh­ing anchan tea recipe is a com­bi­na­tion of cli­toris and fresh mint.

Why the clitoris is not a “blue matcha”

Cof­fee house own­ers who offer vis­i­tors to taste “blue matcha” are very cun­ning, try­ing to sell inex­pen­sive cli­toris at the price of elite tea.

Matcha, a tra­di­tion­al and very spe­cial tea for the Chi­nese and Japan­ese, is extreme­ly dif­fi­cult to obtain. It is obtained from the upper leaves of the tea tree: twen­ty days before har­vest­ing, the bush­es are placed in the shade to hide the leaves from the sun’s rays. Due to this, they accu­mu­late more chloro­phyll and amino acids. After the leaves are har­vest­ed by hand, steamed, dried and ground into a fine pow­der.

The cli­toris is unpre­ten­tious in care. You just need to wait until young buds begin to appear and col­lect them until they open, and then dry them. Noth­ing spe­cial and no fuss.

Hence the main dif­fer­ence: cli­to­ria costs about $100 per kilo­gram, and the most inex­pen­sive matcha tea costs about five thou­sand per kilo­gram.

Try­ing to sell a cli­to­ria called “blue matcha” is an attempt to make more mon­ey on con­sumer igno­rance. Isn’t it cheap­er to make the same drink at home and cheap­er? For exam­ple, you can buy this tea here.
