Lotus Leaf Tea (Nelumbo nucifera) — Dried He Ye Granules, 120g Jar, Weishan Lake Origin

Lotus Leaf Tea (Nelumbo nucifera) is made from the dried leaf of the sacred lotus, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Hé Yè (荷叶). Grown in the waters of Weishan Lake in Shandong, the leaves are harvested, cleaned, cut, pan-roasted, sterilized, and sealed into granules for a convenient daily brew. Its nature is bitter, neutral, and gently drying, making it a classic summer herb traditionally used to clear summer heat, transform dampness, and support light, clear-headed wellbeing.
