Lychee

• FedEx Overnight shipping can take two days depending on the delivery location.

2025 Lychee Update

We expect to have a large harvest this year, however it will not all be ripe at the same time so we will release cases weekly as the fruit is ripe and ready to ship. We do our best to harvest each lychee at it's peak, however we are a small family farm and logistically we have to space out the harvest. This means that some of the lychees harvested earlier in the season maybe more tart than those harvested later in the season.

Shipping

We ship all lychee via FedEx Overnight*. Most West Coast orders are delivered the day after they ship from our farm, however with the increase in shipping delays it is possible that your order will take 2 days to be delivered. Non-West Coast orders will take 2-day for delivery.

Please ensure you are available to receive and properly store the fruit as soon as it is delivered. We package and ship our products to comply with federal agricultural regulations, and are unable to add icepacks or other materials. We are not responsible for damage after the fruit has been delivered.

How to Store Lychee

Our lychee are harvested ripe and are perishable and susceptible to light bruising and browning once picked, packaged and shipped, and are best eaten as soon as you receive them.

Please read our detailed guide on how to properly store and enjoy your lychee upon delivery.

Remove from box and bag.

Please be available to receive your package upon delivery. And follow these step as soon as possible to ensure the best flavor.

Lychee is very perishable and may loose some of its bright color by the time you receive it.

If the bag is not torn, you can rinse it, dry it and use it to store your lychee.

---

Rinse your lychee with cold water.

This will remove any juices that may have leaked from split fruit during transit.

---

Remove any split or damaged fruit.

These can be eaten, but we do not recommend storing them.

Here is some fruit that was damaged during shipping.

We are always working to improve our packaging and shipping, however it is common to have some split and browning fruits upon delivery.

---

Allow lychee to air dry.

They don't need to be fully dry for storage, but removing excess water will help them to keep longer.

---

Place in sealed container or plastic bag and store in the refrigerator.

Lychee skin will brown when exposed to cool dry air, so we recommend storing them in a covered container or plastic bag. Place a paper towel or clean cloth in the bag to absorb any extra moisture.

We find the sweetness of the lychee is enhanced when chilled. Even as the skin browns, the fruit inside will be sweet and juicy.

Enjoy!
