            Lotus Leaf Black Tea
A decadent and sweet taste of peaches and vanilla cream with sweet spearmint and fruity osmanthus blossoms
About this tea
Lotus is one of the world’s most sacred and spiritual plants. It rises from the mud and scum to become strong, beautiful and aromatic. The lotus shares its beauty, and its seeds and roots are used for food. The aromatic flowers and bittersweet leaves of the lotus are used for making tea and traditional herbal medicinal tonics. The properties of lotus leaves are bountiful and well documented in articles on lotus’ use in herbalism and traditional medicine. Rishi’s blend masters balance cleansing and purifying lotus leaves with black tea, sweet spearmint and fruity osmanthus blossoms. This blend has a surprisingly decadent and sweet taste of peaches and vanilla cream that is derived from the right balance of teas and botanicals.

Wa Shan Ecological Tea Garden sits in Lincang, on the border with Myanmar (Burma) in southwestern Yunnan. Surrounded by a lush and biodiverse mountainous region, this certified organic tea farm is one we have been working with since 2013. Wa Shan is a famous tea mountain since ancient times named after the Wa ethnic minority who have farmed tea in this region for more than a thousand years.
