Tekka – The Connoisseur’s Choice

Bold. Bittersweet. Deeply complex. Tekka — also known as “Bamboo Leg” — is a durian for those who know exactly what they’re looking for. Unlike the creamy sweetness of Red Prawn or the crowd-pleasing balance of D24, Tekka goes in a different direction: intensely bitter with a dry, dense texture that lingers on the palate.

Its pale yellow flesh hides a strong, almost herbal edge — layered, slightly alcoholic, and uniquely satisfying. This is a durian with character. Some call it challenging. Others call it the best they’ve ever had.

Definitely not for beginners — but for the seasoned durian lover, Tekka is a rare gem worth the chase.

Unapologetically bold. Tekka doesn’t try to please everyone — just the ones who matter.
