Lian Zi Xin, or Lotus Plumule, is the tiny green shoot found inside the lotus seed (Nelumbo nucifera). Though small in size, it has long held a distinct role in traditional herbal formulations.
Noted for its deeply cooling properties, Lian Zi Xin is traditionally used in formulations to promote clarity and calm. Its intensely bitter flavour contributes a unique profile to herbal teas and is typically paired with more neutral or sweet botanicals to achieve balance.
