Spirit of Purity

A masterpiece of nature and tradition, Spirit of Purity is a premium green tea delicately scented with the ethereal fragrance of lotus stamens. These fine, white, rice-like filaments, nestled around the lotus pod, are carefully harvested from fresh lotus flowers at dawn, when their fragrance is at its peak. Through a meticulous and time-honoured process, the green tea leaves are blended with these lotus stamens to absorb their delicate floral essence.

After the scenting process is complete, the stamens are gently removed, leaving the tea infused with the pure and tranquil aroma of the lotus. This all-natural process creates a tea that embodies serenity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature's beauty.

Tasting Notes:

• Liquor: Pale green with a golden hue
• Aroma: Subtle floral with a sweet, honey-like undertone
• Taste: Smooth and refreshing green tea with a whisper of lotus fragrance

Perfect for moments of mindfulness or as a gift that celebrates the art of tea and the timeless beauty of the lotus.
