Choosing a blue lotus supplier
Searching for a blue lotus flower supplier in the USA returns many sellers, and they are not equal. A few direct questions quickly separate dependable suppliers from risky ones.
Ten questions to ask
- What is the full botanical name? It should read Nymphaea caerulea.
- Which country is the flower from?
- Can I see photos of the exact lot?
- Is there a certificate of analysis, and for which lot?
- What is the moisture level and how was it tested?
- Which pack sizes and minimums do you offer?
- What is the lead time and which carrier is used?
- What are the payment terms?
- Can you do private label?
- Who do I call if something goes wrong?
Warning signs
- The label says only lotus with no Latin name.
- A price far below everyone else, with no documents.
- No named lab or lot number on a certificate.
- Health claims in the listing. A responsible seller does not make them.
- A seller with no phone, address or clear contact route.
