The pipa fruit is native to Zhejiang province. Also known as loquat (from the traditional Chinese), folks here refer to the fruit as the pipa. The leaves of the pipa bush provide Chinese traditional medicine with a convenient and effective cough suppressant.

The pipa season is short…only weeks long. Luckily, I’m in Hangzhou at the height of the season.
