Choice Organic: Lychee white
Saturday, August 9th, 2008
Choice Organic Teas has recently introduced eight new whole leaf organic teas. The teas are neatly packaged in an artistic wrapper. The tea itself is contained in a biodegradable tea pyramid (mesh-like). Today, I’m drinking Lychee white. The white tea is both organic and fair trade. From the start, this tea’s fragrance will make your mouth water. The dry tea has an inviting sweet scent to it. It’s a very welcoming scent. As you inhale the fragrance, it awakens your senses and motivates you to get your day moving along. If you drink white tea for its low caffeine content, you’ll enjoy the relaxing nature of the tea. The lychee is a small fruit native to southern China. The lychee flavor found in tea reminds me of a mix between a sweet grape and a raspberry. You need to try it for yourself and decide. Regardless of what it reminds me of, it tastes great. To prepare the tea, I let the water sit for about 3-5 minutes after it boiled. I let the tea pyramid float in the water for about 2-3 minutes. I was left with a delicious cup of tea. The white tea was very enjoyable. The flavor is very well balanced. The white tea and lychee flavors blend together to create a beautiful medley of flavors. For an extra touch, Choice Organic added organic osmanthus flowers to the mix. This is easily one of my favorite Choice Organic products, and I can’t wait to try the other new flavors.
