The lotus is also the national flower of Vietnam. Lotus tea, which enjoys the scent of its oriental and beautiful flowers, is known among tea lovers as a very romantic traditional flavored tea. The base tea is made in Hà Giang, the northeastern part of Vietnam. It seems to use Shan Tuyet Tea, which is made from large leaf seeds that have grown wild since ancient times in this land bordering China's Yunnan Province, the origin of the original tea tree, and aged for two years. This tea can only be made in June and July when the lotus flowers bloom all at once. Sesame-sized grains called anthers at the tip of the stamens, which are the source of the aroma, are mixed with the tea. In order to enjoy the aroma in all cups, when putting the tea leaves into the teapot, scoop them carefully with a teaspoon so that the anthers are well-balanced.
