 A traditional flavoured tea in China and an old favourite, the lychee fruit imparts fragrant honey tones giving a delicate floral scent to this black Keemun type tea.

The lychee is a sweet and juicy tropical fruit, indigenous to Southern China and abundant throughout Asia.

The scent in the tea is achieved by mixing the tea leaves with lychee peels and flowers during the oxidising process.

The result is a beautifully aromatic tea - one which has been enjoyed since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). A true Chinese classic.

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
