Lotus Plumule and Green Tea

Why people make this tea

Lotus plumule is the small green embryo found at the centre of a lotus seed. Dried plumules are the part you steep for this tea, and they are available at Chinese herb shops or online. Lotus plumule is traditionally taken to clear heart-fire and ease restlessness, and is associated with supporting healthy blood pressure. Its main compounds (lotus alkaloids) are associated with a steady, lasting effect of relaxing the peripheral vessels — which is why it’s regarded as a wellness brew for the heart-fire pattern of high blood pressure.
