Why people make this tea
When summer arrives, fresh lychees disappear from the market almost as fast as they appear. Nourilo enjoys buying dried lychees out of season — they have a concentrated sweetness and, in traditional food-therapy terms, are considered to have even stronger nourishing properties than the fresh fruit. Paired with red dates, which are one of the most well-known blood-building ingredients in Chinese food therapy, this becomes a simple, pleasant daily tea.
Dried lychee is rich in iron and copper, making it traditionally associated with replenishing blood. It is also thought to support cognitive function and brighten the complexion over time. Women who feel physically depleted, pale, or who are recovering from illness or surgery may find this tea a gentle daily habit.
