Blue Lotus Flower Tea from Sri Lanka, Whole and Crushed Nymphaea nouchali Flowers for Loose Brewing
Blue lotus flower tea brings a delicate floral aroma to a slowly brewed cup. These dried Nymphaea nouchali flowers combine whole flowers and naturally broken petals, so you can see the botanical material and measure the amount to suit your preferred strength.
Grown and packed in Sri Lanka by Ceylon Spice Garden, this blue water lily is supplied as loose dried flowers rather than a powder or concentrated extract. Petal tones, flower size and aroma naturally vary between harvests.
For a cup, start with about 1g of flowers and adjust to 1–2g for a fuller flavour. Add 250ml of hot water, cover and steep for 10–15 minutes, then strain. Keep the flowers tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark cupboard and handle them with a clean, dry spoon.
For adult use only. Keep away from children and pets. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have a medical condition or take prescription medication.
