Asian pears: eating and growing. Experiences and thoughts, please

Our pears were just planted this year, so we obviously won’t have any of our own for a few years. But we did try some AP’s at the orchard we’ve visited recently. The Kosui they had were very bland and almost mealy, not a pleasant experience. They also had Korean Giant, and those had better pear flavor than the Kosui, but they were pretty gritty. Is that the norm for a KG?
