Lychee (litchi) is the name of the Litchi chinensis tree fruit allegedly originating from China. Today, lychee is one of the most popular fruit of the Southeastern Asia. In Europe it is long and well known, but is not as widespread, mainly due to the difficulties of transportation when fresh. But if you happen to come to that part of the world where litchi grows, put this fruit on to your gastronomic list — the nicotine acid contained in lychee impedes the development of atherosclerosis.
Indeed, lychee-flavored tea does not have nicotine acid in abundance, and yet it does have the good taste of black tea and the splendid flavor of the exotic fruit.
The generosity of nature and the mastery of people turn the lychee-flavored black tea into a pleasant and healthy drink, which can become a real decoration to your tea table.
