Detailed Description

If you haven't tried this tea then you're in for a surprise! Lychee Congou is a medium leafed China black tea that has been naturally scented with lychee.

Cultivated in many places in Asia as well as other places around the globe, lychee cultivation has been recorded as far back as 2000BC in China. Wild trees still grow in the Guangdong province where it is thought that they originated.

Lychees, introduced to the west in the late 1700's, have a taste that is sweet and slightly tart. The fruit has an intoxicating aroma and taste, which combines well with this China black tea. Lychee Congou brews to a deep copper color with a sweet, floral taste.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Great lychee flavor 7/24/2018
I'm a big fan of lychee fruits and this tea wonderfully captures that flavor. It's a light fruity floral flavor, and very unique and fun to find in a tea!

Yuuuuuum! 6/14/2016
This is exactly like eating a fresh Lychee! I am in love! I really miss having fresh Lychee or Rambutan at my finger tips, this satisfies my cravings. Soooo happy! :)
 
A Tea to Add to My Keeper List 1/31/2016
Never having eaten lychee I wasnt sure what to expect from this tea. Its so good I am putting it on my permanent list of keepers. The base is a very good black tea from China. The lychee adds a fruit/slightly floral taste. The best way I can describe it is to say it reminds me of green melon, a little strawberry and a bit of green grape. It leaves a lingering sweet taste in the mouth. The sweet fruity taste is well balanced with the tea so it is not overpowering nor does it taste artificial. I expect this would also make a great iced tea. Thanks S&V for something completely different.
