Wu Yuan

A tier

Wu Yuan is a Chinese longan cultivar/type name tied to traditional production regions—fruit used fresh and especially for drying into dark, sweet medicinal-culinary longan pulp. Flesh quality and sugar suit the drying trade. Clusters reflect southern Chinese orchard craft. Seek dried Wu Yuan style products for sweet soups and tea; fresh is regional. Drying concentrates musky caramel notes. Authenticity of regional names varies in export bulk—buy carefully. Rehydrate gently for desserts.
