Fresh Feizhixiao Lychee – Buy Online in the UK

Feizhixiao lychee fruit is now available in the UK — juicy, aromatic, and intensely sweet, this premium lychee variety is a rare summer indulgence.

What is Feizhixiao Lychee?

Feizhixiao (飞枝笑) is a premium lychee cultivar from southern China, celebrated for its thin peel, fragrant flesh, and exceptional sweetness. Unlike standard lychee varieties, Feizhixiao has a higher flesh-to-seed ratio, making it particularly sought after in local and export markets.

The fruit’s translucent white pulp is incredibly juicy, with a floral aroma and rich honeyed flavour that sets it apart. In Guangdong and Fujian provinces, Feizhixiao is a seasonal highlight — enjoyed fresh, chilled, or served with light desserts and teas.

Now, you can buy Feizhixiao lychee in the UK and experience this gourmet delicacy at its seasonal peak.
