Our Black Lychee is an exception among exceptions: we tend to stay away from most fruit flavored teas and flavored teas in general... because they're generally not very good. Poor leaves, artificial flavoring, and an "off" smell and taste. Our Black Lychee makes the cut for three reasons:
- Not artificially flavored. Flavoring comes from a steaming process using the actual fruit, no extracts or concentrates.
- Whole leaves, rather than dregs.
- It is both yummy, and amazingly aromatic.
We're generally not fans of flavored teas or blends here at Great Lakes Tea-- but we do make exceptions. And that is when a tea is so undeniably pleasant, it cannot even be measured on the same scale as its peers. Black Lychee is that exception.
