Thriving in the shallow waters of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui’s lotus ponds, this delicate herbal tea draws life from nutrient-rich silt and warm, sunlit environments. The lotus leaves, broad and verdant, unfurl to catch the sunlight, their surface coated with a natural waxy layer that repels water and locks in freshness. Bathed in morning dew and kissed by gentle breezes, they absorb the tranquil energy of their aquatic homes, developing a character as pure as the ponds they inhabit.

Exceptional Flavor Profile

Savor the tea’s clean, refreshing essence: a mild, grassy base with subtle notes of green cucumber and fresh hay, balanced by a gentle astringency that softens into a crisp, vegetal sweetness. The first sip delivers a bright, aquatic freshness that evokes the calm of a lotus pond at dawn, followed by a light, herbaceous depth that lingers like a memory of wet earth after rain. A hint of nuttiness adds complexity, while the finish is clean and revitalizing, leaving the palate feeling refreshed. The liquor shimmers with a pale yellow-green hue, its texture light and airy, carrying a vitality that feels both invigorating and soothing.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Harvested in early summer when the leaves are fully expanded but still tender, the lotus leaves are hand-picked on dry, sunny days to ensure maximum freshness. They undergo a careful process of rinsing to remove any impurities, followed by gentle air-drying in shaded, well-ventilated areas. This slow drying preserves their natural color and delicate flavor, allowing the leaves to retain their beneficial compounds without the need for heat or chemicals. No additives or preservatives are used—this tea’s character is a pure expression of the lotus leaf’s natural essence, captured at the peak of its vitality.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Ideal for warm afternoons when you crave a light, refreshing beverage, or as a post-meal drink to aid digestion and cleanse the palate. Its mild, herbal flavor pairs beautifully with light snacks like rice crackers or fresh fruit, complementing their tastes without overpowering. It also shines as a daily wellness ritual, offering a moment of tranquility amid a busy schedule. Whether enjoyed hot on a cool day or iced on a sweltering afternoon, it brings a touch of aquatic serenity to every cup.
