Blue lotus

The sacred lily of the Nile

Nymphaea caerulea is a water lily, painted along the Nile for thousands of years and wild-harvested today from lakes in Sri Lanka. The jar holds petals, pollen and the occasional flower head, shade-dried for brewing by the teaspoon.

A single open blue water lily floating beside one flat green pad in a weathered stone basin of dark water, hard sunlight across the stone, the jar standing on the paving beyond.

The flower

A water lily with a lotus's name

Nymphaea caerulea is a water lily; true lotuses belong to the genus Nelumbo. Blue lotus is the common name that stuck.

The flower opens by day and closes at night. In ancient Egypt it appeared frequently in art and was associated with the sun and resurrection.

A wide woven drying tray on a stone floor holding a loose layer of dried violet petals and golden stamens, one hand turning them over, the jar on the floor behind.

The harvest

Wild-harvested in Sri Lanka

We wild-source the flowers from lakes in Sri Lanka. They grow in the mud without fertiliser or pesticide, then dry in gentle shaded sunlight.

After harvesting, the flowers are shade-dried to preserve the petals, pollen and occasional flower head.

Two hands pouring from a cream enamel kettle into a glass cup packed with violet petals on a linen runner, steam in the low sun, the jar and a brass spoon beside it.

The cup

A teaspoon, and 5 to 7 minutes

Use 1 to 2 teaspoons in a cup of boiling water. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes, then strain. A longer steep turns it bitter and covers the subtler part of the taste.

It brews a pale amber-gold, and the dried petals smell faintly of chocolate. Add a squeeze of lemon or a little hibiscus and the cup turns deep purple as the acidity changes the flower's pigment.

It is sedative, so keep it for the evening. Do not drive or do anything else that needs your full attention after a cup.
