Lotus Tea
Since, childhood Ms. Khangembam Raina D/O Khangembam Ibchouba Singh and Thingnam Purnandi Devi of Keishampat Keisam Leikai, Imphal Manipur having an engineering qualification, learnt from her parents that Manipur have been blessed with a lots of nutritious herbs with lots of medicinal properties. Since then, she has a passion of collecting, preserving, researching and experimenting various herbs (eg lotus, tulsi, bhubati, chives known as maroi nakkuppi, gooseberry, pineapple, neem, turmeric, ginger, etc.). Lotus is one of the most intriguing herb which she is very passionate about. Her forefathers have been using it for many health benefits.
During the festival of Kang (Rath-Yatra) as a child her mother always gave her the flower offered to Lord Jaganath, they would eat the stigma/Lotus saffron (known as Leirit in Manipuri, Kamal Kesar in Hindi), Lotus seeds (known as Thamchet in Manipuri) and also Khichadi wrapped in lotus leaves (known as thamna in Manipuri) gives its own aroma to the khichdi and enhance its flavour.
We can have lotus tea either from fresh lotus flower or dried lotus flower, lotus leaves (Thamna, especially the tender leaves, known as thamna likon in Manipuri), lotus root (Thambou in Manipuri), etc.

In Buddhism the lotus represents purity of the body, speech and mind.
In Egypt lotus flowers represent rebirth in the afterlife.
And in India the flower petals represent the elements of the earth.
In Manipur, there are lots of Lotus plants, but this specific variety lotus 108 (Thambal chammanipal) is more potent and fragrant than other variety of Lotuses found. The locals near the Loktak Lake (Largest Fresh Water Lake) especially the red Lotus 108, believe this particular variety of Lotus 108 (Thambal chammanipal) was sent by Gods through a bird dropping the seeds in the Lake.
Apart from the above mentioned lotus, another variety of water lily commonly known as Egyptian Blue Lotus is also widely available in Manipur. It is very fragrant and potent flower. We have also been using this tea for the last few years.
All the Lotuses found in Manipur have their own unique aromas, tastes and very nutritious. So, the Lotus tea was prepared in such a way to retain its nutritive values without any additives and preservatives.
