Premium Lotus Tea (Nelumbo Nucifera) – The Royal Fragrance of Vietnamese Heritage

1. Introduction to Lotus Tea

Lotus Tea (Trà Sen) is considered the “King of Teas” in Vietnam, once reserved exclusively for the royal court. The lotus is Vietnam’s national flower, symbolizing purity, serenity, and enlightenment. This tea is a masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship, combining the fresh, earthy notes of premium green tea with the ethereal, sweet fragrance of the lotus blossom.

At Vinahugo, we offer the finest Lotus tea, ranging from traditionally scented loose-leaf varieties to the rare “Whole Flower Lotus Tea,” where tea leaves are placed inside a fresh blossom overnight to absorb the natural dew and fragrance.

2. Product Varieties

• Traditional Lotus-Scented Tea: High-mountain green tea leaves naturally scented with “lotus rice” (the small, fragrant white stamens). It takes approximately 1,000–1,500 flowers to scent just 1kg of this premium tea.

• Whole Dried Lotus Flower Tea: A spectacular whole blossom that has been freeze-dried. When brewed, the entire flower “blooms” again in the teapot, offering a delicate herbal infusion.

• Lotus Leaf Tea: Made from dried young lotus leaves, known for its weight-management and detoxifying properties.

• Lotus Stamen & Embryo Tea: A bitter yet highly therapeutic tea made from the green center of the lotus seed, used primarily for sleep support.
