Lychee Tropical Tea is a flavored black tea with the fragrant, floral-sweet character of lychee fruit — one of the most prized flavors in Chinese tea culture, where lychee-scented teas have been produced for centuries. The lychee (Litchi chinensis) delivers a unique aroma: floral, sweet, slightly muscat-like, and unmistakably tropical. Over a black tea base, the lychee creates a cup that is aromatic, sweet, and distinctive.
Quality loose-leaf lychee teas use natural lychee extract or sometimes whole dried lychee pieces. The scenting process for premium versions mirrors the traditional Chinese jasmine tea method, where fresh lychee is used to naturally infuse the tea leaves.
In the cup, Lychee Tropical Tea brews a bright amber with a pronounced, fragrant, floral-sweet lychee aroma. The body is medium, the finish clean and sweet.
Use 2 grams per 8-ounce cup.
