Custom Service Introduction
Native to China, lychees have been enjoyed for over 2,000 years. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even had lychee gardens planted. The famous Tang Dynasty poem, "A single rider stirs up red dust, and the consort smiles," tells the story of fresh lychees being rushed to the imperial court. In ancient times, lychees were difficult to transport, making them a rare and highly prized tribute fruit.
Custom Information
Custom NotesIn traditional Chinese dietary beliefs, lychees are considered a "warming" fruit, so it's best not to eat too many at once. Some people like to soak them briefly in lightly salted water before eating. Lychees are highly perishable, so they're best enjoyed as fresh as possible after purchase.
