Lichee Congou by Silk Road Teas


Dry leaf aroma: Lychee, dusky grape, slight floral undertone.
Wet leaf aroma: Slightly musty with suggestions of lychee.
Preparation: 2 tsp in 16 ounces of water, brewed western style in a ceramic infuser mug.

First/only steeping: 3 minutes at 212 degrees.
The hot infusion smells wonderfully of lychee with a delicate undertone of grapes and roses. White hot, the liquor has a dominate essence of lychee and a suggestion of sugary rose. As the cup cools, notes of hibiscus mingle with the lychee and the floral undertone is less pronounced. This tea lingers pleasantly on the palate and I think it would be wonderfull chilled.

Flavors: Lichee, Grapes, Rose
