Product Name: Guiqi Mango (Gui Re Mang No.82)
Description:
Guiqi Mango, also known as Gui Re Mang No.82, is a premium late-maturing mango variety uniquely developed in Guangxi, China. It was selected by the Guangxi Subtropical Crops Research Institute in 1994 from the open-pollinated progeny of Indian mango variety Neelum, and officially released after 30 years of breeding. The name “Guiqi” combines “Gui” (the abbreviation for Guangxi) and “Qi” (seven), referring to its July maturity. In 2020, it passed national certification by the China Tropical Crop Variety Approval Committee. Often called the “Hermès of Mangoes” and “China's Sweetest Mango” , Guiqi has become a flagship product of Guangxi's mango industry.
A Mango with Four Layers of Fragrance:
The defining feature of Guiqi Mango is its extraordinarily complex aroma. It is exceptionally rich in ocimene, which accounts for 88.29% of its total aroma compounds. This gives the fruit a unique four-layered fragrance: fresh lemon-like citrus notes, tropical fruit sweetness, subtle woody undertones, and a delicate milky finish. When you peel back the green skin, the aroma rushes out like a wave, captivating the senses.
Appearance:
The fruit has a distinctive “S-shaped” or curved kidney shape, with a pronounced beak-like tip, giving it an elegant appearance. Unlike other mangoes, the skin remains green even when fully ripe – a “deceptive” trait that often leads first-time buyers to mistakenly think it is unripe. The flesh inside is golden orange, fine-textured, and virtually fiber-free.
Flavor & Sweetness:
Guiqi Mango delivers an exceptionally sweet, honey-like flavor with no tartness or astringency. Sugar content reaches 20%–22% Brix or higher when fully ripe, far exceeding ordinary mango varieties. The flesh is smooth and creamy, with a lingering milky aftertaste. The edible rate exceeds 82% thanks to its thin skin and small seed.
