Eight-Treasure Lotus Tea

Eight-Treasure Lotus Tea

　　Eight-Treasure Lotus Tea is a specialty of Xichong County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. Eight-Treasure Fragrant Lotus is a purely natural organic tea that contains rare lotus embryo extract, known for its skin-rejuvenating and beauty-enhancing properties.

　　Made from fresh lotus flowers, this premium natural beverage retains the original color and essence of the blossoms. It is both eco-friendly and capable of evoking poetic imagination in the drinker... The tea is rich in vitamins, ascorbic acid, and essential trace elements such as calcium, zinc, and iron. It not only helps clear internal heat, detoxify the body, and benefit the liver and spleen, but also boosts immunity and promotes metabolism.

　　There are strict requirements for brewing Lotus Tea. First, the water temperature should be kept around 80 degrees Celsius, and hot water should be added in stages. For the first brew, add just enough hot water to barely submerge the lotus flower—do not cover the cup. Once the flower has fully bloomed in the water, add more water and continue brewing. It is ready to drink once the flavor has infused. After drinking, don’t discard the used lotus petals—they can be applied to the skin.

　　It is reported that in 2013, the Baike Ecological Park in Yixing Town, Xichong County, planted 200 acres of “Eight-Treasure Lotus,” with each flower selling for up to 15 yuan. Currently, “Eight-Treasure Lotus” is sold primarily through online orders, targeting high-end markets in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
