Let customers speak for us
I received my order and am very pleased with it, and the added gift that came with. I do apologize about my last 1 star review, I feel foolish about it. Thank you all very much for the Lotus.
Most flavoured greens are either too sweet or taste artificial — soursop is hard to fake and easy to overdo. This blend gets it right. The Ceylon green tea base is clean and slightly grassy, and the soursop comes through as a delicate creamy-fruity aromatic on top. Beautifully done and genuinely refreshing.
Cold brewed overnight and it's incredible. Subtle fruit, smooth green tea finish.
This is my morning cup now. Gentle caffeine, lovely flavour, genuinely good for me.
Even my husband who normally hates herbal tea drinks this one. The green tea base helps.
Soft, smooth, fragrant. A pleasure morning or afternoon.
Brews clean even with a slightly long steep. A forgiving tea, which I appreciate.
Try it cold. I steep a heaped tablespoon in cold filtered water in the fridge overnight, strain in the morning, serve over ice. Genuinely incredible — smooth, slightly sweet from the soursop, never bitter. My summer drink of choice now.
Hint of fruit, smooth green tea body, no bitterness when brewed properly.
I've now experimented with this in roughly every way you can brew tea. Hot at 80°C for two minutes — clean, light, soursop subtle on top. Hot at 90°C for five minutes — bigger soursop note, slightly fuller body, never bitter (this blend is unusually forgiving). Cold brew overnight — my favourite, smooth and faintly sweet. Iced with mint and a slice of lime — incredible summer drink. Multiple cooking methods, all give a different lovely result. The leaf clearly has a lot to give. This is now my permanent green tea.

Soft soursop fragrance over a clean Ceylon green base. Refreshing and unusual.
Long whole green tea leaves, recognisable pieces of soursop leaf, no twigs or dust. Loose leaf done properly. A heaped teaspoon makes a generous pot.
