The product, in detail
Blue lotus
The sacred lily of the Nile
Nymphaea caerulea — a water lily rather than a lotus, painted along the Nile for thousands of years and wild-harvested today from lakes in Sri Lanka. Petals, pollen and the occasional flower head, shade-dried and brewed a teaspoon at a time.
The flower
A water lily with a lotus's name
Nymphaea caerulea is a water lily. The true lotus is a different genus altogether — Nelumbo — and the two were confused a long way back, somewhere between the Nile and the English word. The name stuck, and the flower is still sold under it everywhere.
It grows up out of thick mud into clear water, opens in the day and closes at night. Egypt made a great deal of both: it was tied there to the sun and to resurrection, and painted often enough over thousands of years that the word sacred came with it and stayed on the jar.
The harvest
Wild out of a Sri Lankan lake
These are not farmed. We wild-source the flowers from lakes in Sri Lanka, where they grow in the mud on their own, with no fertiliser and no pesticide, and they are dried in gentle shaded sunlight rather than under heat.
What ends up in the jar is petals, pollen and the occasional whole flower head rather than petals picked out on their own. Nothing is blended into it and nothing is added.
The cup
A teaspoon, and 5 to 7 minutes
1 to 2 teaspoons to a cup of boiling water, steeped 5 to 7 minutes, then strained. Longer is not stronger: a long steep turns it bitter and costs you the subtler part of the taste.
It brews a pale amber-gold, and the dried petals smell faintly of chocolate. A squeeze of lemon turns the cup deep purple and hibiscus does much the same, the colour answering to the acid; it is worth doing once for its own sake.
It is sedative, which is the reason it sits in the evening rather than the morning. We ask that you keep it away from driving and anything else that wants your full attention.

Before you start
A note on informed use
Plant medicine deserves preparation. For most people this is gentle and uneventful, but some situations call for a conversation first.
Talk to someone first if:
- You take prescription medication of any kind
- You or your family have a history of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
- You have a heart condition or blood pressure that isn't well controlled
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You simply aren't sure whether this is for you
SSRIs and other antidepressants
They compete for the same serotonin receptors, and can dull the effect substantially. People who feel nothing at all are often taking one without having made the connection. It doesn't rule anything out; it does mean the timing is worth discussing with your doctor first.
