Lotus Teas Lotus flowers are picked between June-September in the early mornings, before they fully bloom open. The flowers are cut and their fragrant anthers are intricately separated before being blended with the teas. Up to 1000 flowers are required for every kilo of tea produced. Over a period of several days the hypnotic fragrance of the lotus is layered with the leaves before being separated.
Origin Hà Giang
Tasting Notes A one bud one leaf Green Tuyết Shan Tea naturally fragranced with Lotus from Hanoi West Lake. Yields a straw coloured liquor. An initial light bodied palette is followed by complex bittersweet vegetal notes and a slightly dry finish.
Preparation: Place 4 grams of tea into tea vessel. Gently pour 50ml of 75° water and quickly pour away. This first rinse is an optional step which washes away any particulates that remain on the leaves. Gently pour 250ml of water and rest for 4 minutes. Repeat for up to 4 infusions with longer brews for each successive infusion.
Packaging Available in a Resealable Pouch or Miron Violetglass Jar, a unique biophotonic glass which retains potency by protecting the tea from the harmful effects of light. We recommend purchasing your first unit in the jar and refilling with the resealable pouch.
