black tea litchee

A classical version of the so-called “scented teas” which is called “Lizhi Hongcha” in China. Lichee is one of the most popular fruits in Southern China. With its high juice content and its sweet-tangy taste, it is often compared to grapefruit, although these two fruits are not allied. This medium-strong tea with its pleasant fruity flavor is ideal for a delicious iced tea in summer. The fine leaf develops a fruity-sweet taste in the cup, with a light note of smoky Keemun.
