It's a good black tea with nothing off-putting about it, but as someone else said you wouldn't know this was lychee if it wasn't specifically stated. Even then I'm having trouble tasting or smelling any lychee. Weirdly enough I'm getting oolong notes from this so maybe you could say it's quite light for a black tea? again, unflavoured oolong. Now the package it comes in on the other hand is VERY nice and I will definitely try to re-use it.

Not too strong black tea with mild scent of lychee on it! For one serving needs double quantity… not my favorite one. I believe it’s good for someone who looking for tea with low caffeine on it!
I keep reordering it. Exceptional quality ingredients. I use it every day. Perfect size.. I love that tea before sleep. The taste, the smell, and the benefits of the blend. It's gentle and effective. One package is enough for one serving, i just leave it in the cup. It has mild (perfect amount of) sweetness. No caffeine, of course. If my feedback was helpful, I will appreciate, if you give it a thumbs up.
Good product, I really liked it. The quality is very nice, and the packaging is beautiful and well made. Everything arrived in good condition, and the product met my expectations
Love this brand of tea ~ becoming my favorite. There hasn't been one that wasn't wonderful. Always a good choice and I prefer the loose tea for a rich flavor.
The ingredients are listed as black tea and litchi fruit, which instantly made me want to purchase this tea (i am a lover of lychee!) But i found i was a little disappointed with how LITTLE LYCHEE FLAVOUR there was. The QUALITY of the black TEA was evident and of course it is CAFFEINATED as it is a black tea blend. To everyone in my family who was served this tea, it was not liked by everyone as much as other teas. First we all tried the tea without any sugar and followed the instructions, (I normally use sugar and cream in black tea blends, but thought that would be very strange with lychee flavour as I wanted it to be refreshing and light.), one person really liked the flavour, another said it was good but a little unusual and they weren't sure how frequently they would drink it, and as for my sister and me it was a bit disappointing and i found myself having to add a bit of caster sugar to taste the fruit aroma better (which I really didn't want to do.) As for the packaging it is in a proper tea tin and its size is enough to make about 50 servings of tea. The tea is comparable with Harney & Sons in size and price. I cannot say that I would purchase this tea again.
I used this for cold brew, it gives a nice lychee smell when drinking the tea. If you add honey, exactly like those you can find in the shop.
This tastes surprisingly delicious. I was anticipating a good taste, but it has better flavor than the last two lychee teas that I've had. Unlike the cardboard cylinders, this package is easy to open and close without spilling, and as a metal tin it seals nicely for freshness and preserving.
I quiet enjoy this tea. Lychee goes really nicely with the black tea. It doesn't take like a strong or artificial flavor. Just a kiss and hint of lychee elevates and makes a unique black tea blend.
It’s okay, nothing amazing, we like our teas but after trying this one is just sitting in the cupboard and nobody reaches for it..
