This is the0 Guozi Shule Dou Dou Lemon Tea Litchi, a flavoured tea beverage made with lemon juice at a concentration of ≥1 g/L and no lychee juice.

The drink had a translucent deep brown-red hue and a distinctive aroma reminiscent of Vita Lemon Tea, with a faint fruity undertone suggestive of lychee. On tasting, the initial impression was overwhelmingly sweet—cloyingly so—lacking the refreshing qualities expected of lemon tea. The lychee flavour was faint, almost imperceptible. Mid-palate, a strong astringency developed, not accompanied by bitterness, but rather a sharp, drying sensation that persisted into the finish. The lemon aspect emerged at the tail end with a puckering sharpness, but this quickly gave way to a clean aftertaste, though the astringency lingered.
Overall, this lychee-flavoured lemon tea lacked balance: the lychee was underdeveloped, the sweetness excessive, and the lemon tea base lacked the clarity or zest expected of a citrus-forward beverage. The astringency, while adding structure, felt disproportionate without the support of brightness or freshness from either fruit component.
This Guozi Shule Dou Dou Lemon Tea Litchi contained 500 mL. It was produced in China and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
