Tea Story

There’s a touch of romance in every cup of Lychee black tea, a blend that captures the delicate sweetness of lychee fruit with the bold depth of fine black tea. 

Lychee black originates from Guangdong and Fujian provinces in southern China, regions celebrated for their traditional practices of infusing black tea with fruits and flowers. It is crafted with meticulous care: the tea is harvested and processed in the spring, then stored until summer when lychees reach their peak ripeness. The tea is then blended with fresh, unpeeled lychees and gently roasted to dry.

This careful roasting allows the tea to absorb the rich, sweet flavor and floral aroma of the lychees, creating a tea with a distinctive, mouth-watering taste and a unique, fragrant profile.
