Dried Lotus Flower (Nelumbo nucifera)

Dried Lotus Flower (Nelumbo nucifera) — Premium Vietnamese Export Herb

Dried lotus flowers — the blossoms and stamens of Nelumbo nucifera — are among the most prized and culturally resonant botanical exports from Vietnam. VinFruits Global, in partnership with VietDelta, offers premium dried lotus petals, dried lotus stamens (lian xu) and traditional lotus tea preparations to international buyers in the herbal tea, premium beverage, traditional medicine and natural beauty industries.

About the Product

The lotus flower holds profound cultural significance in Vietnam — a national symbol of purity and natural beauty deeply embedded in Vietnamese identity. Vietnam’s Mekong Delta and northern provinces produce lotus flowers of outstanding quality: large, fragrant blossoms with pink-white to cream petals and delicate golden stamens that yield one of the world’s most sought-after herbal aromas. Petals and stamens are harvested at optimal bloom stage from clean, chemical-free ponds, carefully dried to preserve colour, fragrance and bioactive integrity, and packaged in food-grade materials for premium market presentation.

Product Forms Available

Dried Lotus Petals: Large, fragrant petals in pink-white to cream — used in premium herbal teas, floral bath soaks, potpourri, decoration and natural cosmetics.

Dried Lotus Stamens (Lian Xu): The golden stamens — the most prized component in traditional lotus tea blending — carry concentrated lotus fragrance and bioactive alkaloids. Premium Vietnamese lotus stamen tea (trà sen) commands significant price premiums in luxury markets.

Traditional Lotus Tea (Trà Sen): A centuries-old Vietnamese speciality in which green tea leaves are scented with fresh lotus stamens over multiple cycles, producing one of the world’s most exclusive and fragrant teas.

Bioactive Profile and Health Properties

Alkaloids (Neferine, Nuciferine, Isoliensinine): Lotus flower alkaloids — particularly concentrated in the stamens — have been studied for cardiovascular protective effects, calming and anti-anxiety action, blood pressure modulation and antioxidant activity.

Flavonoids: Quercetin and kaempferol derivatives contribute anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects relevant to cardiovascular health and general wellness applications.

Aromatic Volatile Compounds: The characteristic lotus fragrance has genuine aromatherapeutic value in stress reduction, sleep quality support and mood enhancement.

Traditional Medicinal Applications

In Vietnamese and Chinese traditional medicine, dried lotus flower preparations are used as a cooling remedy to reduce body heat and internal inflammation, a calming nervine to support sleep quality and reduce palpitations, a heart tonic to support cardiovascular function, and a natural beauty ingredient promoting skin clarity and radiance.
