Lotus leaf tea itself has a light, slightly astringent taste. Adding a small amount of rock sugar, honey, or sweetener can improve the taste.

Lotus leaf tea is cooling in nature, so individuals with a cold constitution or weak spleen and stomach should consume it in moderation. Long-term, excessive consumption is not advised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many servings can I get from 4oz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: 4oz is approximately 113 grams of dried lotus leaves. With each use of 3-5 grams, you can brew approximately 22-37 times. One pack can last a family about 1-2 months, making it very economical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What ingredients can I pair with lotus leaf tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Lotus leaf tea is very versatile. Common pairings include hawthorn (for digestion), aged tangerine peel (for regulating qi), cassia seeds (for eye health), rose flowers (for beauty), chrysanthemums (for cooling), and red dates (for qi replenishment). Our Ruoqiang red dates, Ningxia goji berries, and osmanthus flowers are excellent companions for lotus leaf tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Where can I buy natural dried lotus leaf tea in the US?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Royal Seafood USA offers natural dried lotus leaf tea, stocked locally in the US, with nationwide shipping.
