Crafted from long, slender leaves of full-leaf Congou black tea, this traditional Chinese blend is infused with the natural juice of ripe Lychee fruit. The result is a full-bodied, aromatic tea that delivers a wonderfully sweet and fragrant cup delightfully served hot or over ice. Unlike many fruit-infused teas, Lychee Congou maintains its clarity and does not cloud when chilled.

Lot Notes. Crafted from a full-bodied congou cultivar, the Lychee fruit has been uniformly applied giving the tea a moderately sweet, clean taste.

Lot Facts. Base tea is a black congou grown in Guangdong Province. The cultivar is known for its leaf absorbency. Withered, rolled, and oxidized, then uniformly sprayed with fresh Lychee juice to ensure a deep flavor infusion. 

Taste Profile. Our Lychee Congou is fragrant, naturally sweet, offering notes of grapes and hints of rose. It can be served without sugar or sweeteners.

Brewing Suggestions. We recommend 2.5-3 grams for 6-8 ounces of water. Use water at boiling temperature and steep for 2 minutes and taste.

Black tea is a leaf that has been fully oxidized. This rigorous oxidization produces a tea of hearty rich flavors while reducing its astringency and bringing out a natural sweetness.

Flavors will range from bright, brisk, peppery, clean, and smoky to aromatic, bold, malty, nutty, spicy, and sweet. Blacks are known for long, delicately aromatic, and comforting aftertastes. Note, they are often enjoyed with milk or sweetener.
