Lychee Black Tea

Lychee Black Tea – Flavored Yunnan Red Tea with Sweet Lychee Aroma

Smooth Chinese Black Tea with Natural Lychee Flavoring
Fruity • Aromatic • Comforting

A sweet and juicy cup with the warmth of red tea and the fragrance of lychee.

This Lychee Black Tea is made from smooth Yunnan Dian Hong (滇红) red tea and infused with natural lychee flavor, creating a rich, fruity, and aromatic experience. Like Milk Oolong or Rose Black, this is a flavored tea, not a traditionally scented one—designed for modern enjoyment with consistent aroma and no bitterness.

The base tea offers a warm, malty body, while the added lychee essence brings a lively sweetness and tropical floral lift. It’s delicious both hot and iced, and makes an elegant alternative to sugary fruit blends.
