A traditional Chinese black tea naturally perfumed with fresh lychee — fragrant, sweet, and endlessly sippable.
What is Lychee Congou?
Lychee Congou is a China black tea that has been naturally scented by applying the juice of fresh lychee fruit directly to the tea leaves. Congou refers to a style of carefully processed Chinese black tea — full-bodied and smooth — and the lychee scenting adds a delicate floral sweetness without any artificial flavoring. The result is a fragrant, beautifully balanced cup that is as pleasing to the nose as it is to the palate.
What does it taste like?
Expect a smooth, full-bodied black tea base with a soft, lingering sweetness and the distinctive floral-fruit aroma of fresh lychee. It is naturally sweet without being cloying — the kind of cup that does not require sugar. Brewed hot, it is warming and aromatic; brewed cold over ice, it becomes a refreshing and elegant summer drink.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes. As a black tea, Lychee Congou contains caffeine — typically 40–70mg per cup depending on steeping time and water temperature. It is a naturally energizing choice for morning or afternoon, without the intensity of espresso.
How to brew
- Bring cold, filtered water to a full rolling boil (205–212°F).
- Use one rounded teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup.
- Pour boiling water directly over the leaves.
- Steep for 4–5 minutes, then remove the leaves to prevent bitterness.
- Serve hot as-is, or brew double-strength and pour over ice for an aromatic iced tea.
One 4 oz. tin yields approximately 40 cups of brewed tea.
