This tea is named for its distinctive lychee aroma (Smile of Princess) and rich longan-like notes in its liquor, fragrance, and taste.
Crafted from premium high-mountain tea leaves—plucked as one bud with two or three leaves within Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve—it is meticulously produced by skilled tea masters using traditional Lapsang Souchong methods.
The dry leaves are tightly rolled, sleek, and dark with visible golden tips. When brewed, the liquor shines bright orange with a golden halo. The taste is mellow, sweet, and vibrant, leaving a lingering fruity sweetness with pronounced longan and lychee nuances.
