The last of my teas for tasting from my trip through Millerton and tea of the morning.
As far as the lychee teas I have had in my day, this one is the best. It is the perfect balance of flavor, scent, and the tea base. It is very similar to rose tea, but has more of a citrusy floral note than just a floral one. Very pleasant, and I know I will be ordering more at some point, but right now my Harney’s wishlist is kind of long….
I have had one that was lighter scented and perfect for iced (from Upton..iced teas for me are usually pretty basic) and one that was overly scented, even too much for iced tea (this one was from The Tea Table and the sample which I liked did not match up with the tea I ordered).
Steeped by the usual parameters.

I tried lychee fruit (my oldest daughter had it in Hong Kong and calls it eyeball fruit) and really really didn’t like it. It tasted like cleaning fluid to me. How does it taste in tea?
If it is too strong, it definitely tastes like perfume or cleaning fluid. Done well it tastes like citrus and flowers!
I love lychee fruit, so this one is definitely a must-try for me!
Harney used to sell a lychee tea that was $600 a pound. I think Mike said it was one of his wife’s favorite teas or something. I don’t dare get hooked on that one!
This one is $24 a pound. And it is still really good. There will be some in at least one package that went out today ;) , and one that is going out in October.
