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.
