This smooth and mild liquoring China black tea is infused with the sweet essence of tropical lychee fruits. This classic Chinese flavor, is often served in Hong Kong cafes as a strong brew that is blended with pieces of canned lychee and ice for a cool summer drink.

I’m not sure why it’s called Lychee Red Tea, when it’s a black tea…
Fixed this way, the lychee flavor is very subtle, so mostly I’m getting the mild black tea flavor. I’ll have to try my next cup iced and see if I get more lychee that way.
I’m not really sure what lychee tastes like, anyway… I’ve only ever had it as a flavor in things (like sake!). I’ve never had a lychee fruit.
I’ve had the flu and been unable to write and without an appetite for much of anything, including tea. Today I feel almost human and I’m celebrating with this delicious lychee tea. Lychee is one of my favorite fruits and this tea does a reasonable job of bringing the lychee flavor to this mild black tea. Overall it is quite nice.
