Flavor Summary
Its signature dried lychee aroma is the hallmark of "The Smile of mistress". The liquor is bright orange-yellow, smooth and sweet on the palate, with a lingering honeyed charm and a quick, saliva-inducing sweet aftertaste. The name is inspired by the famous Tang Dynasty poem: "A rider raises dust as the imperial concubine smiles — no one knows it is the lychee that arrives."
Bioactive Compounds
Theaflavins (TFs)
Unique polyphenol oxidation products in black tea, accounting for 0.5%–3% of dry weight. They are key to black tea's color and taste, with strong antioxidant, lipid-lowering, and anti-inflammatory bioactivities.
Thearubigins (TRs)
The most abundant pigment in black tea (10–20% of dry weight), responsible for its deep red color and thick, mellow mouthfeel.
Caffeine
Stimulates the central nervous system, enhances alertness and concentration, and boosts metabolism.
Amino Acids (L-Theanine)
Includes L-theanine, which balances caffeine stimulation and induces a state of relaxation with focused alertness.

Rich in trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, and phosphorus.
