A rare, naturally scented lotus green tea that produces a stunningly fragrant tea with an enduring bittersweet after taste. The tea is produced using lotus from Quang Ba pond, one of the dwindling number of lotus ponds around the edges of Hanoi's famous West Lake.

During the lotus season (approximately June to September) the flowers are picked in the early morning before the young blooms open. The cut flowers are then taken for the intricate task of sorting, separating the fragrant anthers and blending with tea.

Our Lotus tea uses a high quality, pure wild green tea sourced directly from mountains of Ha Giang which we send to West Lake for blending. Tea and flowers are blended up to seven times over a two week period.  Between 1,000 and 1,200 flowers are required for each kilogram of tea produced.
