My grandmother had a guava tree in her backyard in Miami. Every summer I remember climbing that tree. Guava trees aren't very big, and they have perfect branches for a child to climb. I'd reach for the fruit and the smell would take me away before I ever tasted it — so fragrant that a single ripe guava could fill the whole room. Floral. A little pungent. A sweetness you could sense before it ever touched your tongue. You have to get through the outside texture to reach the juicy fruit inside, and that is the reward. Guava doesn't taste like any one fruit — it crosses somewhere between strawberry, pear, and ripe banana, with a warm, custard-like sweetness and a subtle botanical muskiness at the finish that is entirely its own. That's what our Guava Bud captures. And then we added a hint of kiwi, a sharp, bright, lift that cuts through the heavy tropical sweetness and makes the whole flavor feel lighter, crisper, instantly mouth-watering. Like a breeze through the tree. -split- This flavor carries my family's story in it. I can taste my grandmother's backyard every time. If you grew up with guava, you'll recognize it immediately. If you didn't, you're about to meet something extraordinary. What does Guava remind you of? We'd love to hear your story — write to us.
