First time trying English Tea Store's China Lychee Congou Loose Leaf Tea?
Try our Sample Size of 1 ounce.- Contents loose leaf tea net weight 4 ounces
- Contents loose leaf tea net weight 16 ounces (1 pound)
Caffeine content: Medium - This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.
Antioxidant Content: Medium - The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.

Delicate delight
This tea has a very delicate Lychee aroma and is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It is a medium strength black tea without bitterness even when brewed longer than necessary.

Still evaluating
This was my first order with the English Tea Store. I have been drinking lychee tea for over 40 years (when I could find it), and have always enjoyed it very much. It has always been satisfying on the first sip, but this one was not; I'm still trying it to discover why my reaction this time was different. The difference isn't blatant (neither overly sweet nor overly bitter), but it's there. When I figure this out I'll give it another review.
