Blue Lotus Flower
Product Details
Blue Lotus Flower (Nymphaea caerulea) is a distinctive dried botanical known for its striking blue-purple petals, delicate floral aroma and long history of traditional use.
Also commonly known as Blue Water Lily or Egyptian Blue Lotus, this aquatic flowering plant has been associated with ancient Egyptian culture for thousands of years and remains a sought-after botanical ingredient today.
When infused, Blue Lotus Flower offers a subtle floral aroma with gentle earthy notes and a naturally bitter finish. The bitterness is part of its characteristic flavour profile and can become more pronounced when a stronger infusion is made or the flowers are steeped for a longer period. For a softer, more balanced cup, it can be blended with complementary herbs, flowers or naturally sweeter botanicals.
Its distinctive flavour makes Blue Lotus Flower suitable for use on its own or as part of more complex herbal tea and botanical blends. The dried flowers also provide excellent visual appeal in loose-leaf formulations, particularly when combined with other colourful petals and botanicals.
Beyond traditional herbal preparations, Blue Lotus Flower is also an interesting ingredient for specialty beverage development, botanical blends and creative formulation work.
Suitable for herbal tea blending, botanical infusions, specialty beverages, creative formulations and other botanical applications.
