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’ve been drinking tea since I was little, but I only started drinking loose leaf about two years ago. I haven’t tried nearly as many teas as I would like. Starting 2011, I’m going to try to write out tasting notes rather than just recording that I drank something, but I’m not that familiar with a lot of the jargon yet. Also, I’m easily pleased, so I probably tend to rate high. I hope my tasting notes will be helpful to others, but, if nothing else, it’ll help me remember what I thought of various teas, which will be helpful when I’m ordering more.
