Mei Qiu 美球
Sweetness: ★★★★★
Bitterness: ★★★
The meat is light matt milky yellowish color. Fragrance is floral, subtle and sweetish (not pungent). Pinching the meat leaves a shallow dimple but the membrane outside does not break. The meat is creamy and smooth, inside it is sticky and moist but not wet. Flavor is mainly mildly sweet (mild compared to Mao Shan Wang) with subtle bitter aftertaste. The seed size varies from small like a thumbnail and flat, to oblong and round like a small egg. Even with the big seeds, Mei Qiu has quite a lot of substance, so it can be rather filling.
