“I’m not the biggest fan of lychee, as I’ve never actually had the fruit, but with the sample sale, I figured I’d give this a try. The only lychee I’ve ever had was in tea flavoring, and this is...” Read full tasting note

Lychee black tea is made in the process of baking the fresh lychees into dried ones, using the Gongfu black tea as material and smoking them together under long-time low temperature. The tea tastes sweet, mellow and smooth with pleasant lychee aroma. While brewing, you can add other materials based on your own taste, like: lemon, rose, milk, honey and so on. Furthermore, in the hot summer, a cup of iced DIY lychee black tea is also a nice choice.
