The Traditional Way
No flavorings, no shortcuts — only lotus, tea, and time.
01
Dawn harvest
Bach Diep lotus is picked at 4–5 a.m., while the buds are still closed and most fragrant.
02
Hand separation
The fragrant anthers — "lotus rice" — are separated from each flower entirely by hand.
03
Seven scentings
A layer of tea, a layer of lotus rice; scented and dried seven times over 21 days.
04
Sealed with care
The finished tea is sealed airtight, keeping the lotus fragrance until it reaches your cup.
The Hands of Artisans
Every dawn in lotus season, our little neighborhood by West Lake gathers amid a carpet of pink petals. Elder artisans — keepers of a craft passed down through generations — separate the fragrant lotus anthers by hand, gently, as if afraid of breaking the scent.
No machine can replace this: one flower yields only a pinch of fragrant white "lotus rice", and a kilogram of tea needs a thousand such flowers. Every Minh Tri tea box carries the work of many hands and many early mornings.
A tea house by the lotus ponds
Our family house sits in alley 416 Lac Long Quan, Tay Ho district — just minutes from the Bach Diep lotus ponds of West Lake. Flowers picked at dawn are scented the very same morning, capturing a freshness that lotus tea from anywhere else cannot match.
In lotus season (May–August) the whole family works from sunrise: picking lotus, separating the fragrant anthers, filling the flowers with tea. Visitors are always welcome to watch — and to taste the tea for free before buying.
