Loetuse

Loetuse is a unique or specialty tea originated from East Asia. It is made from the leaves and buds of the lotus flower, typically from the Nelumbo nucifera species. The flavors of lotus tea range from floral to fruity, depending on the specific variety and the harmony with other tea plants.

According to historical records, lotus tea has been used for medicinal purposes in traditional Chinese culture. It is said to have benefits for the smooth functioning of respiratory and digestive systems. In modern times, the popularity of lotus tea has spread globally for its perceived health effects and unique taste.

Numerous cultivars of the lotus plant are used to produce loetuse, differing in the way their tea is prepared. This allows each meterial to possess a distinct flavor characteristic that appeals to the discerning tea consumer.

Some noticeable foci associated with loetuse production include hand plucking the lotus blossoms at the perfect stage of blooming, allowing teas prepared from these blossoms to retain the essence of their unique nectar. These blends usually appeal to more experienced consumers of tea who value the intricate nuances of flavor that make the experience distinct. Different processors employ several preparation processes such as oxidation control to meet market demand while maintaining authenticity.
