The story of Formosa Brew's Lychee Oolong begins in Taiwan, a land renowned for its exceptional oolong tea and, during a fleeting summer season, its succulent lychees. The ancient poet Su Shi once wrote that eating 300 lychees a day makes him "a permanent southerner," a testament to their irresistible allure. In Taiwan, a land blessed with the perfect climate, the lychee fruit embodies the vibrant energy of summer.
We at Formosa Brew have captured this ephemeral moment. We use a traditional scenting method to infuse our finest oolong with the natural essence of lychees, harvested at the peak of their ripeness. The result is a cup of tea where the delicate, floral sweetness of the lychee dances in perfect harmony with the smooth, mellow body of our high-mountain oolong. It is a unique sensory journey that celebrates the brief but beautiful encounter between a classic tea and a beloved summer fruit.
As the sole provider of this exceptional Mango Oolong blend in Europe, we invite you to experience this unique taste of our homeland.
