China black tea scented with the aromatic lychee fruit. A natural hint of sweetness and flowery aroma.
Company description not available.
I did another side by side sampling of lychee tea kind of like I did with the rose teas. I thought this one was a little light on flavor, but then I was tasting it along side the Lichee Congou “Extreme” from another merchant. I definitely need to try this one on its own before passing judgement. All in all it seemed pleasant. Looking forward to it iced in the warmer weather, which will probably be June around here…..
I once ate canned lychees in syrup, and this tastes like that added to black tea. It’s very sweet and fruity. The lychee flavor goes well with the black tea. I steeped two teaspoons in a 12 oz. mug, then added a teaspoon of sweetener and a drop of milk. I love it. It’s a bit difficult to try to describe it, because all I’m thinking right now is, “Mmm, lychee.”
I didn’t like this tea, mostly because it really didn’t taste like lychee. While the tea leaves smelled like it, that smell didn’t carry over to the taste or the hot tea. All that I could taste was mediocre black tea, most likely the base.
