Dragon Lychee Pearls

Dragon Lychee Pearls – Lychee-Scented Hand-Rolled Black Tea Pearls

Dragon Lychee Pearls pair black tea with lychee, a tropical fruit widely loved across Asia. In ancient China, lychee symbolized love, beauty, well-being and sensuality, and it is native to the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian, which are also renowned tea-growing regions. Combining lychee with tea is therefore a natural match. For tea shops, cafes and retailers, this is an exotic, fragrant black tea with attractive presentation.

Fine black tea leaves are hand-rolled into elegant pearls and scented with lychee essence. Lychee has a distinct floral aroma and a fragrant, sweet taste, and its perfume-like notes complement the black tea's own natural floral character. As the pearls steep, they gradually unfurl, producing a light golden liquor. The appearance is that of hand-rolled black tea pearls that open in the cup. The aroma is sweet, floral and perfumed; the flavor is smooth black tea with juicy, fragrant lychee sweetness; the finish is delicate, floral and lingering. The pearls open slowly, so the same leaves provide several flavorful infusions, and black tea is naturally rich in antioxidants. It can be served straight to highlight its floral sweetness, brewed strong and poured over ice as a fragrant iced tea, or prepared in a glass teapot so customers can watch the pearls open. It pairs well with dim sum, fresh fruit and light desserts, adding food-service versatility.
