I quite like lychee’s and lychee flavoured things, including tea, but it has to be done right. There is a very thin line with delicious lychee flavour and super chemical tasting.
Like some other tasting notes on this one state, this is quite a mild tea. But it is good. There is very minimal lychee flavour but it is there underneath the black tea.I am getting a slight bitterness with the black base but it is not in a bad way. I also feel like I am getting hints of coffee bean. Not sure if it is the tea or some contamination from the box, it is most likely not contamination from my house, but who knows. The lychee flavour definitely starts to pop more as the tea cools. I would love to try this one iced.
Edit: Iced, this one is really good. It is totally different iced than it is hot. I would say not much much lychee flavour iced, to me it is almost like an apple cider but without that tart apple. Not sure if that is making sense. Lychee cider maybe, ha ha. I brewed 2 tsp tea with 1 cup water for 3 minutes, added ice to make 2 cups then chilled in fridge for about 4 hours. I added 1 tsp of white sugar. It is hardly sweet at all and I am liking that.
