Australia Lychees

Australian Lychees area tropical delight that unveils a sweet and floral taste profile on your palate. These lychees bring a burst of flavour with their unique profile. The sweet taste is similar to a blend of rose, pear, and strawberry, creating a refreshing and exotic sensation.

Encased in a leathery and scaly exterior shell ranging from pink to brownish red, these lychees conceal a jewel-like, semi-translucent flesh that cradles a normal-sized seed at its core. The texture is firm, jelly-like, and delightfully water-rich, offering a thirst-quenching experience that is most satisfying during the summer months when these treasures are in season.
