Introduction of Lotus Leaf Tea:

Lotus Leaf Tea, also known as "Lotus Money Tea", originated from the famous patriotic poet Wen Yiduo, the Qing Dynasty Scholar Chen Hang, the Ming Dynasty Chancellor Yao Gelao's hometown of the Wangtian Lake. According to legend, Chen Hang brought a little bit of his hometown's specialty, lotus leaf tea, with him when he went to Beijing during the Jiaqing period. Lotus leaf tea is mainly based on lotus leaves.

The quality of lotus leaves in July to September is the best. The quality of lotus leaves is categorized into four grades according to specifications: fine silk, wide silk, large slices and baking, among which the quality of large slices and baking is the best. Lotus leaf tea is best made from wild fresh white lotus leaves. The fresh lotus leaves ensure the fresh taste of the lotus leaf tea, and the white lotus leaves are thinner and have a fresh taste without bitterness.
