From the Great Canadian TTB.
It is so hard to find a GOOD lychee tea. There are some good ones out there but a lot of them are very perfumey. And a lot of them are not specifically a black tea.
This one smells delicious. It is quite authentic lychee smelling with a bit of floral smell, but not perfumey at all.
The brewed tea is delicious. The black tea is light to moderately bold. It is smooth. There is a very light lychee flavours that just pokes out over the black tea. Again, to me it tastes quite natural lychee. There is a bit of fruity floral taste that mixes well with the tea. No perfume, no chemical, no astringency, no artificial tastes. Just deliciousness!
There are a few other blends from Silk Road in the TTB and I am excited to try them. Fingers crossed they are all was good as this one.

I love lychee flavored stuff when done well :)
I know. I love lychee and lychee flavoured things but it seems quite hard to get just right.
Iam so glad you liked it. I didn’t find that it tasted much like lychee. I could tell it was in there but I found it tasted kind of strange, mainly like tobacco. Have you tried butiki’s lychee oolong, that had been my favourite lychee tea so far.
I just finished a cup of Butiki’s lychee oolong. DEFINITELY in love. It was SO good – perhaps my perfect lychee tea. In regard to black lychee teas, the sample I got from RiverTea was probably the best lychee black I’ve ever had (it was called The Tea of Kings).
I have tried lychee oolong from Butiki and it is very good. I think silk road’s tea is a great lychee black.
i liked the lupicia lychee tea…i think it was one of the san francisco limited blends..
