Blue Lotus tea is steeped from the petal and stamens of the plant known by the botanical name, Nymphaea Caerulea. The Blue Lotus flower gives off an intoxicatingly wonderful scent and is a beautiful flower that has been used in herbal healing dating back to the ancient Egyptian, Syrian, and Thai cultures.
The flower was used by the Ancient Egyptians as part of their religious celebrations in the form of Blue Lotus wine. The Blue Lotus flower was considered the official flower of the sun god Ra.
This lotus plant grows floating on bodies of water, where it drives its roots deep into the Earth. It is most often found growing in stagnant, tepid waters, yet still somehow produces one of the most beautiful flowers known to man. Its ability to create such a beautiful flower out of brown, swampy water was surely one of the reasons that this plant was so cherished as a sign of spiritual growth and rebirth.
Blue lotus tea was used in ancient societies in the Middle East much like Yerba Mate is used in South America. The tea offers mild psychoactive effects that grant a feeling of euphoria and well-being. Many people report an enhanced sense of connection with their surroundings and the universe after consuming it. At Té Adoro, we offer Lotus as a tea or as an infusion in red wine. The wine helps to activate some of the effects of the flower, and we recommend this method if you desire this plant’s full effect.
Blue Lotus tea may be an effective sleep aid thanks to the presence of compounds found only in this plant. These compounds offer a calming sensation that may help to induce more peaceful sleep. The calming effect also helps to alleviate gastrointestinal problems and nervousness.
Blue Lotus is also very effective at enhancing lucid dreams. As ancient cultures valued their dreams as communications from God, they found this plant to be very sacred since it improved the quality and detail of their dreams. Consuming Lotus tea or wine will increase the amount of deep sleep you receive, leaving you feeling extra rested and refreshed when you wake.
This flower is a very powerful aphrodisiac— another reason it has a long religious history of being a symbol of rebirth. Effects begin within a couple hours of consumption, and can vastly improve the intimacy of your experiences.
