Fall in Love...with Morning Lychee

Our newest flavor of Green Tea Mints actually ties in to an ancient Chinese legend of love. Keep reading for a sweet treat!As the legend goes....during the Tang Dynasty in China, Emperor Xuanzong fell in love with one of the "Four Beauties" of the era: a young woman named Yang Yuhuan. Desiring to please her, the emperor sent his royal horsemen on a journey of hundreds of miles to retrieve his beloved lady's favorite fruit: the red, heart-shaped lychee.

The horsemen took turns riding night & day to arrive at a special orchard in southern China and gather the treasured fruit. This revered orchard still blossoms today, providing luscious lychee berries to be savored by modern lovers all over the world.

This Valentine's Day, take a moment to be grateful for the love in your life. While you're at it, take advantage of our special 15% promotion offered on all Morning Lychee Mints, found by clicking here.
