I’ve now tried both the oil and the tea, and I’m so excited to share what it was like!
Let’s start with the moringa oil infused with blue lotus — it feels really special to me. It absorbs into the skin incredibly fast, which is a big deal in my case. I tend to feel nauseous if I can sense oil sitting on my skin, so I rarely use oils at all (except during massages). But this one didn’t trigger that reaction at all. It felt light and luxurious. The scent is delicate, subtle, almost royal — absolutely lovely.
And then… the petals. They absolutely enchanted me.
Yesterday, I decided to make blue lotus tea. The moment I opened the package, I was completely intoxicated by the smell. There’s something magical about the scent of the dried petals — it instantly made sense why ancient Egyptian depictions show people not just drinking or smoking the plant, but also simply smelling it. The aroma alone felt like a portal.
I usually drink tea with honey, but for my first time, I wanted to really feel the pure taste of the plant. Wow. The flavor was beautiful — mild, smooth, slightly sweet. I ended up drinking three cups (one flower can be brewed 3–4 times), even though I’m not a big tea drinker — especially not without sweetener!
Now, the effect.
I didn’t do anything special — no ceremony or intentional ritual. In fact, I was making jewelry while watching Netflix. But after about ten minutes into my first cup, something shifted. Netflix started to annoy me. I switched to music instead. I kept making jewelry for a bit… and then my body started dancing on its own.
I felt this strong desire to move, to flow. I looked around the room and suddenly couldn’t stand the mess — so I started cleaning while dancing, and it felt amazing. Like cleaning was an act of self-love. Like I was a goddess, tidying her temple. Joyful. Empowering.
The whole experience became a deep exploration of self-love. I wanted to touch my body with care, to admire myself, to fully feel and enjoy who I am. I felt a light, pleasant euphoria, a soft buzzing at the top of my head, a kind of blissful vibration.
It was a love fiesta.
If I had to compare the experience, I’d say it felt like a very strong ceremonial cacao — just without the magnesium side effects (aka the mad dash to the toilet!).
