Water is essentially replacing fluid while tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants at the same time so it’s got two things going for it. According to my BF, Lotus tea is good. Aside from making the skin clear, it also helps with diarrhea, gas, and cramps… and soothes away inflammation. Although, there are many kinds of Lotus tea. Lotus is full of vitamin C, B complex, antioxidants and a list of minerals that lead to a more nourished and brighter complexion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not tried Lotus tea before. It sounds like something that I should try! Sorry for my ignorance dear, is it the Lotus flower or the seed tea?

Hi Nancyzak, he said that anything about Lotus Tea is good, be it a flower or a seed but for him, he could say that Lotus Flower has more benefits including Vit.C, which is good for the skin. The flowers, seed, & leaves are used to make medicine. Lotus seed is good for those suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. Lotus flowers are used to stop bleeding. Chinese love Lotus seed. They usually use this in Chinese medicine for healing. They also eat this either cooked or raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain places have unending supply of Lotus flowers and seeds. Whereas mine, it’s hard to find the Lotus flower tea for drinking and seeds for snacking. I’ll have to take a chance looking for them at specialty stores. I bet they will be pricey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, Lotus (I call it the magical flower) since it's one, which is entirely edible and gives us not just foodstuff, but also medicines and tea. I heard that it grows in dark waters across India, Vietnam, China, Egypt, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Lotus goes by multiple names: water lily, white lily, Nelumbo Nucifera or the Indian lotus (they call it Makhane) and needs not just water but also abundant sunlight to grow. Real Vietnamese lotus tea is extremely expensive as it is scented with lotus stamen. They say that it's pricey due to the work that goes into processing the tea when scenting it. Try looking online as well. I think you can probably find some on eBay too! Although, sometimes online you could find either the genuine & not the real one, though.

Hi @willenette That’s what I’m afraid of most, i.e. fake Lotus tea. Whether it’s online or not (i.e. bought from stores), one has to be very careful in making the right choice and getting the genuine ones. I trust recommendation from friends who know the origin/source. Now that you mentioned Vietnam, I’ve been there a few years back and came across a shop that sells local flower teas. I might have tasted the Lotus tea but can’t recall whether I bought it before. All I could remember now is forgetting to make and drink the teas. They eventually went bad and I had to throw them away, LOL. Since you told me about its goodness, I might just enquire around and see whether any of my friends are going there and could buy for me. That and the Lotus seeds. I really like snacking the seeds. They are really tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nancyzak, over the years, the tea makers of Hanoi have mastered the art of flavoring green tea with lotus stamen fragrance. They say that it's meticulous and time-consuming to process lotus flowers to make 1kg of lotus tea. That is why the prices of this Vietnam’s ancient tea can go up to hundreds of dollars per kilogram. But when you taste this tea, you will know that it is worth the price, right? It's also the best gift for yourself or someone really special in your life. Here's WHERE TO BUY : (in case you visit Vietnam again in the future) Huong Mai Café in the Old Quarter at 58 Ma May, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi or at 15 Hang Manh, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi trasen.vn at 169 Nghi Tam, Tay Ho, Hanoi Che Minh Cuong at 65 Cu Chinh Lan, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi Lotus tea is generally reserved for special occasions or ceremonies in Vietnam.

Hi @willenette Wow, Hanoi is far, far up north Vietnam!! But I have heard of its unspoilt old city; very much worth a trip there and the exploration. Thanks for the addresses. I shall make it a point to look up the vendors if I go to Hanoi. There’s already the Lotus stamen tea. Why the flavouring of green tea with Lotus stamen? Is it for the added medicinal benefits of both green tea and Lotus stamen, or for the pure uniqueness of the flavoured tea? Presumably the green tea is from Hanoi too, to add to the novelty?

Hi Nancyzak, I guess because each of them has their own flavor components. And right you are - both green tea and lotus hold several synergistic antioxidant compounds. In Vietnam at least you can walk into a grocery store or restaurant and find a decent green tea, even if most people seem generally not aware of brands or brewing technique, from what I experienced even in a tea shop. Adding sugar and milk to tea is not a common gesture in Vietnam, though. I told you once that I don't dig teas but I still can tell you this - If you go to Vietnam again you should drink some tea!

Hi @willenette Actually, I heard more of Vietnamese coffee than tea. I tried the drip coffee with plenty of condensed milk (urghhh, don’t remind me of the sugar and calories!!!) at a nondescript coffee shop in Vietnam and it tasted heavenly!!! But, I can’t get the same taste and flavour when I went for a drink at a Vietnamese coffee chain back home. Somehow the depth of the flavour and taste are not there, but beggar can’t be choosy, as the saying goes. It’s a good substitute until I get the original in Vietnam again. Vietnamese instant coffee is a good substitute too. I know they fly off the shelves very easily, thanks to the tourists that buy and buy to bring home for own consummation and as gifts!

This time they were spotted in Hong Kong by eagle-eyed Chinese fans who uploaded the pics on Weibo. Kim Tae Hee was trailing behind her hunky hubby, chatting with a female companion. Rain seemed to be aware that the fan was taking photos of them. You gotta love how low-key this superstar couple are.

Hi Nancyzak, traditionally, their coffee is usually sweetened with condensed milk. I really like the thick condense milk, which adds to this sweet lovely flavour. You can however ask for milk and sugar but I think it tastes best the original way. That being said it took a while for me to get used to the Vietnamese version of coffee because it usually quite strong. And I guess because I'm not really a coffee-drinker. But, once you taste it enough of times the flavor grows on you! The variations in the Vietnamese coffee come from the various additions that are used in the preparation. Have you tried Egg Coffee there? Sounds so interesting, right? Although, it sounds a little strange… IDK if you did since the egg coffee is a specialty that is limited to Hanoi. It tastes good - I spent a great deal of time hunting it anywhere but unfortunately I haven't seen it. The base is a strong shot of Vietnamese coffee. It is then topped off with a whisked mixture of egg yolk, coffee and sugar. Hold on a second, let me describe how it tastes. How? Like a tiramisu! There's also a Yogurt coffee. It also tastes good. How did it taste again? Like a milkshake! Very refreshing! I would never have thought Vietnam would be the place for coffee! Not until you said so! Isn’t it amazing how many variants of this wonder beverage exist throughout the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
