Trà Sen, lotus tea, is one of Vietnam's best-known teas. For ours, green tea from the highlands of Lâm Đồng is scented with fresh lotus flowers in five rounds. The result is a clear, amber cup with floral, mildly sweet notes and a hint of star anise and vanilla. Brew it with water at 75 °C for 2 to 3 minutes; the leaves are good for two to three infusions.
