The brand describes the flowers as organic. Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is a water lily rather than a true lotus, and the dried blue lotus flower is used in a cup of hot water as a floral, slightly bitter tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried flowers shed their petals in the pack, so a single flower is one yellow core plus a pinch of blue petals. Seven flowers is seven cups by the brand's method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue lotus is the blue water lily of the Nile. The flowers are picked, dried whole and packed, which is why the petals come loose in transit; they are still the same flower. The dried core is pale yellow and papery, the petals a faded blue. It has a long history in ancient Egyptian culture, where it appears constantly in art, on tomb walls and in ritual, and the brand's original description leans on that history. We mention it as context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand's description also refers to effects people report and to other ways people use the flowers. We do not repeat those; what we describe here is the tea, which is how the brand directs it to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe infusion is pale, and the taste is bitter and floral. Some people add honey; others drop a flower into another herbal tea, such as camomile, so the lotus is a note rather than the whole cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Herba Store UK own-label product.

The leaves are large, leathery and dark green when fresh; dried, they are olive brown and brittle. Unlike a tea bag, whole leaves need simmering rather than steeping to draw out the flavour, which is why the brand's method uses a pan and 10 to 15 minutes. The result is a light brown, mildly herbal infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand's original description refers to traditional uses of the leaves and to health topics.
