Lychee Black Tea

A fragrant black tea with the distinctive sweetness of ripe lychee. Juicy tropical fruit notes meet the depth and warmth of black tea, creating an aromatic cup that is naturally sweet, rounded and refreshing.

Lychee has been cultivated and enjoyed in southern China for more than a thousand years and has a particularly deep connection with Guangdong. Its lush sweetness and intensely fragrant character have also found a natural place in the region’s tea tradition.

Lychee Black Tea combines black tea with the aroma of the fruit through a traditional scenting process associated with lychee peel. The tea leaves take on the fruit’s characteristic fragrance while retaining the structure and depth of the black tea underneath, creating a balance between fruit and tea rather than a purely sweet or perfumed profile.

Once brewed, the liquor develops a warm reddish-amber colour. Ripe lychee is immediately recognisable in the aroma, accompanied by gentle floral notes and a touch of honey. The black tea gives the infusion a rounded body and warm depth, while the fruit character keeps the finish bright and refreshing.

Its naturally fruity profile also makes this a particularly versatile tea. It can be enjoyed hot, but works especially well chilled or cold brewed, where the lychee fragrance becomes clear and refreshing.
