What Hongyuan lychee candy is
Lychee is the second most reviewed single flavor after guava. The bag weighs 350 g and every piece is wrapped. Buyers who came for guava often add this one next: several reviews tell that story.
Know before you buy
Lychee flavor is hit or miss. One buyer set it beside a Japanese lychee candy and found a medicinal note here. A one-star review calls the sweetness artificial. The pieces are marble-sized, so the same caution about small children applies.

Best lychee candy
It's so good. This is the best lychee candy I've found. My kids love it too. I used to get gummy candy but it goes so fast. This hard candy lasts a while.
Delicious, tart but sweet hard candies!
These candies are sweet with a perfect bit of tartness and I eat them constantly. They are about the size of a marble so please do not give to children, but enjoy them yourself!
Dakeyi vs Kasugai Lychee candies
Great candy for the office candy jar. I decided to try this Dakeyi candy as the price was more reasonable compared to the Kasugai lychee candies. The taste is adequate, it will satisfy that craving for a sweet candy, but has a bit of a medicinal/dirt root taste that I personally don't care for. But its OK.
Taste horrible
Large bag. Individually wrapped. Taste horrible. They taste weird. Off? I have had lychee candy before that were fanatic. These taste like Lychee but are not a nice sweet. They didn't taste like regular candy. Extremely artificial tasting. Even the sweetness was artificial tasting. Leaves a weird taste in my mouth and makes everything I eat after taste weird. I had to spit it out. If you don't mind off tasting candy go for this. It was a lot of candy for 12$ if they had tasted even slightly good it would have been worth it. Sorry for the bad review.
13 ounces of awesome!
I didnt notice the size of the package was almost a pound and I laughed when I opened the envelope! But these are super tasty and even my mom likes them now! Im going to sprinkle them all over--a few in my bedroom, a bunch in my purse, some in my little work bag. So happy it was the big bag!
Tastes like lychee
Great little candies that tasted like lychee. I discovered these after buying the guava candies we received at a Thai restaurant.
Lychee or peach: which Hongyuan candy should I pick?
Take lychee if you like floral, perfumed fruit and a gentler scent. Take peach if you want the mildest bag and a label that spells out the calories. Peach costs less per bag: $7.00 against $7.49.
