PRODUCT: Lychee White Tea
|
The lychee (pronounced LIE-chee, not LEE-chee, after the Chinese lai chi) is one of the most popular fruits in Southern China. The evergreen grows wild in southern China, northern Vietnam and Cambodia, although there is evidence that it has been cultivated since around 2000 B.C.E.
Lychee tea is highly esteemed in China. Following an ancient process, tea leaves are infused with the succulent juice of the lychee. The lychee is also a symbol of beauty. This tea has delicate woody overtones with a hint of sweet lychee flavor. Alternative spellings include lichee, litchi and other variations. We’ve been enjoying Lychee White Tea from Choice, a line of tea that is certified organic and Fair Trade Certified. |

Blended with the exotic flavor of lychee fruit and osmanthus flowers, the tea is lush and aromatic. It’s a beautiful tea to drink plain, without sweetener. The lychee supplies its own delicate sweetness, and the tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. Choice Lychee White Tea is available online. Learn more about Choice at ChoiceOrganicTeas.com.
