"Each individual flavor of the three kinds of tea can be made out distinctly as if each sip were layered with a nice sweet note of lychee down the center. I made the mistake of oversteeping my first cup and I hated it. On my second cup I was satisfied by the delightfulness of it."

"I tried this because it had Lapsang Souchong in it. I had previously tried the Lapsang Souchong by itself and it was too strong so I thought this might be a happy medium. Unfortunately I didn’t detect the smoky flavor at all. Next time I will try the Russian Caravan Smoky. "

"I just tried this tea and so far like it a lot more than the regular Russian Caravan. The lychee flavor mellows out the smokiness that is so powerful in plain Lapsang Souchong. Has a full, well-rounded flavor without any bitterness (even after it had cooled down considerably."

"I saw that this had lychee in it and had to try it right away! I was only disappointed in that it wasnt very smokey. I could definitely taste the chocolatiness of the keemun. I havent had assam or lapsang yet i tasted the assam but not the smokey lapsang. A great, round tasting tea blend with many levels of flavor nonetheless. I'll likely regularly drink this one hot and the lychee tea iced. "

"Got this in my monthly sampler pack. Didn't like the smell, but wanted tea in the morning in stead of coffee. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very satisfying, just the right amount of sweet. I will probably order this one."

"If you're anything like me, you're asking "Smoky AND FRUITY? Huh?" Yet, this tea knocked me off my feet. It's mixed with such masterful balance -- I can actually recognize the individual ingredients. The subtle sweetness of Lychee. The welcome tanginess of Keemun. The brooding depth of Assam. The gentle grace of smokiness. Indeed, it dances across the tongue. And it's far better than it intially sounds. A wicked concoction for those who like dark teas."
