Product Details & Specifications

Why Choose Whole Dried White Lotus Flowers?

Whole flowers and petals make it easier to see exactly what you are buying. You can inspect the visible botanical material, choose the amount for each cup, and enjoy a traditional loose-flower tea experience instead of relying on unknown powders or concentrated extracts.

How to Make White Lotus Herbal Tea

Simple White Lotus Flower Tea

• Use: Start with around 1g of dried White Lotus flowers. Use 1–2g for a fuller floral cup.
• Add water: Pour 250ml / 8 oz of hot water over the flowers.
• Cover and steep: Steep for 10–15 minutes to retain the natural floral aroma.
• Strain and enjoy: Sip warm, plain, or add honey, lemon, or another preferred herbal ingredient.

Tea tip: White Lotus is naturally delicate. For a fuller cup, increase the amount of flowers rather than boiling aggressively.

Easy Serving Guide

White Lotus vs. Water Lily

This product is botanically identified as Nelumbo nucifera, which is a true lotus. This is different from Nymphaea species, which are water lilies. We use the botanical name clearly so customers know exactly what they are buying.

When shopping for dried lotus flowers, checking the botanical name is the best way to confirm product identity. Common names can vary between regions and herbal markets, but the botanical name provides clarity.

What Makes Ceylon Spice Garden White Lotus Different?

• Clearly identified botanical: We identify this product as Nelumbo nucifera rather than using vague “lotus” wording alone.
• Whole visible flower material: You receive recognisable dried flowers and petals, not an unknown powder or concentrated extract.
• Loose-flower flexibility: Brew a light cup, prepare a fuller floral infusion, or use the flowers in your botanical collection.
• Packed in Sri Lanka: Sent by Ceylon Spice Garden with tracked international shipping options.
• Natural variation: Petal size, flower shape, colour tone, and aroma can vary naturally because this is a real dried botanical flower.

A Traditional Lotus Flower for Tea Rituals

White Lotus has long been appreciated as an elegant botanical flower for tea, floral presentation, and traditional herbal use. Its pale natural tones and delicate flower structure make it a beautiful addition to a loose-flower tea collection.

Enjoy White Lotus on its own for a simple floral infusion or blend it with ingredients such as chamomile, butterfly pea flower, cinnamon, or honey according to your personal preference.

Quality, Packaging & Freshness

How Your Flowers Are Packed

We pack White Lotus flowers in sealed food-safe packaging to help protect them from moisture, light, and handling during transit. Whole flowers are naturally delicate, so a small amount of petal breakage can happen during packing and shipping. This does not change how the flowers brew.

How to Store White Lotus Flowers

• Keep the package tightly sealed after opening.
• Store in a cool, dry, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and steam.
• Do not leave the pouch open between uses.
• Use clean, dry hands or a dry spoon to avoid introducing moisture.
• For the best natural floral aroma, enjoy within 12 months of opening.

Natural Batch Variation

Because this is a real dried flower product, petal colour, flower size, shape, and aroma can differ naturally from one harvest to another. Cream, ivory, pale beige, and light golden tones are all normal in naturally dried White Lotus flowers.
