This amazing Lotus flower is filled with green tea from the ancient tea bushes growing in Tan Cuong, Thai Nguyen Province in Northern Vietnam. The lotus flower is the symbol of Awakening and Purity. Each morning the flowers emerge from murky waters and are perfectly clean. They open their blooms as the sun rises and each night return again to the muddy waters. Lotus flowers symbolize rebirth and purity of speech, body and mind. Lotus tea is the pride of Vietnamese tea dating back to the Imperial era of Vietnam. However, this type of presentation was only reserved for royalty and nobility.
To make this delicate tea it is important to carefully pick the lotus flowers at dawn. Then hand-picked leaves plucked from ancient tea-trees are lightly pan-fried before they are placed directly in the heart of the lotus flowers and the petals are gently closed left to be cold dried for 72 hours. This traditional impregnation technique gives whole fresh-flower lotus green tea its pure and seductive floral fragrance.
You'll find this beautiful delicacy to be inspiring, pure and floral, slightly sweetened by fresh lotus flower petals. And for an even more attractive and memorable tea experience, this tea is brewed best by infusing some of the flower petals along with the tea.
