Lychee

Chinese Lychee: Heritage Fruit by Sanesa Yourganic

The Chinese Lychee, also known as Litchi chinensis, is one of the oldest and most revered lychee varieties in the world - celebrated for its floral aroma, translucent pulp, and balanced sweet-tart flavor. At Sanesa Yourganic, we bring you this certified organic Chinese Lychee, grown earlier during the season in Bihar and then in the historic orchards of Pathankot, Punjab, where lychee cultivation has deep colonial roots.

Introduced to Pathankot during the British era, lychee trees were planted by horticulturists who recognized the region’s ideal microclimate and fertile soil. Over time, Pathankot became a renowned lychee belt, with its produce even making its way to the UK. In fact, the very orchard we source from was once managed by a farmer whose grandfather exported the first lychee consignment from Pathankot to London. Today, his grandson continues the legacy, now with organic practices and global certifications, exporting premium lychees back to the UK and beyond.
