{"product_id":"food-and-beverage-example-product-3","title":"Lotus Tea — Lotus Tea — Ceremonial Grade · USDA Organic · Hanoi, Vietnam","description":"\u003cp\u003eVietnam's most sacred tea, now in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, Hanoi's tea masters have practiced a ritual that \u003cbr\u003eproduces one of the world's rarest teas: fresh green tea leaves are \u003cbr\u003elayered inside living lotus flowers at night, left to absorb their \u003cbr\u003efragrance for an entire day, then removed and dried. The result is a \u003cbr\u003etea so delicately perfumed, so layered in flavor, that no artificial \u003cbr\u003eflavoring in the world can replicate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is that tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Lotus Green Tea is ceremonial grade — meaning it is made using the \u003cbr\u003etraditional hand-layering method practiced by artisan producers on \u003cbr\u003eHanoi's West Lake (Hồ Tây), the historic home of Vietnam's finest \u003cbr\u003elotus tea. West Lake lotus flowers have a uniquely sweet, honey-like \u003cbr\u003efragrance that is considered the best in all of Vietnam. You will \u003cbr\u003etaste the difference immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHOW IT TASTES\u003cbr\u003eDelicate, floral, and deeply complex. The lotus fragrance opens first \u003cbr\u003e— soft, honeyed, almost otherworldly. The green tea underneath is \u003cbr\u003esmooth and grassy with a clean, lingering sweetness on the finish. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a tea you drink slowly, without distraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHOW TO BREW\u003cbr\u003eUse 1 teaspoon per 8oz water at 175°F (80°C). Steep 2 minutes exactly \u003cbr\u003e— no longer, or the delicate floral notes will fade. Use filtered or \u003cbr\u003espring water for best results. This tea rewards a second and third \u003cbr\u003einfusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHOW IT IS MADE\u003cbr\u003eFresh tea leaves → layered with lotus blooms overnight → absorbed → \u003cbr\u003eseparated → dried → packaged within 48 hours. Each 4oz bag requires \u003cbr\u003ehundreds of lotus flowers. This is slow, artisan production. No \u003cbr\u003eshortcuts. No flavoring agents.
