A Treasured Heritage
The Fei Zhi Xiao lychee represents centuries of careful cultivation in China, where lychees have been cherished since the Tang Dynasty. Unlike mass-produced varieties, these specialty lychees are descended from ancient cultivars prized by imperial courts. Local farmers in Guangdong's mountainous regions have perfected growing techniques over generations, creating this distinctive petite variety that maximizes flavor concentration through controlled water stress and precise harvest timing.
Exceptional Growing Practices
Our partner orchards utilize traditional farming methods that prioritize fruit quality over yield. Trees grow on terraced hillsides where morning fog and afternoon sun create ideal conditions. Farmers hand-pollinate flowers and carefully thin developing fruit clusters to ensure each lychee receives optimal nutrients. Unlike conventional operations, no chemical ripening agents are used—each fruit is harvested only when perfectly mature, resulting in naturally superior sweetness and aroma.
A Sensory Revelation
What truly distinguishes Fei Zhi Xiao is its extraordinary balance of sensory elements. The moment you peel away the vibrant ruby skin, you'll notice the intoxicating fragrance—more intense than standard varieties with pronounced floral notes. The translucent flesh offers exceptional texture—firmer than common varieties with no fibrous elements. The flavor profile delivers waves of complexity: initial intense sweetness gives way to subtle tartness and finishes with distinctly floral notes that linger pleasantly. Many connoisseurs consider these "the champagne of lychees" for their refined character.
