What Guava variety is the best for Guava Wine
Araca Pera, Brazilian Guava Wine
Araca Pera, Brazilian Guava tree (Psidium x angulatum)
- 🍷 Araca Pera, or Brazilian Guava tree (Psidium x angulatum), is a unique Guava hybrid of a flavorful wild guava from the Brazilian Amazon which is rare in cultivation.
- 🍷 These fruit are 1.5-2", with an acidic, sour guava-like flavor. Its juice is concentrated and must be diluted and sweetened to produce a delicious drink.
- 🍷 It is the major source of a special Guava Wine production. Our favorite Guava Wine is from Schnebly Redland's Winery - this is where we obtained the seeds from their mother plants. This refreshing and vibrant rose wine is full of flavor and has a bouquet that never stops.
- 🍷 The fruit is processed into ice cream sorbet, gelatins and candies.
- 🍷 A great container specimen or a bushy tree for frost-free gardens.

What is your favorite Guava variety?
Our top pick? Tikal Guava!
Okay, we'll admit it - the tree growth habit can be pretty weird: branches grow at some interesting 90-degree angles, giving it a bit of a wild, chaotic vibe. Think Barbados Cherry bush - if you've seen that unruly spectacle! 😰
But let's focus on what really matters: the fruit. Tikal produces the best pink guava, no contest! It is disease-resistant, fast-growing, super sweet, and boasts very few seeds - huge bonus! Plus, Tikal is a reliable producer, making it perfect for beginners or anyone eager for quick, delicious results. 🌟

Grow Your Own Food:
Costa Rican Guava - Guava for Drinking!
by Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats
...Looking for a handsome, unusual fruit tree for container culture with healthy and flavorful fruit? Or simply want an easy fruit tree that is hardy and undemanding? Psidium friedrichsthalianum (family Myrtaceae), the Costa Rican Guava or Cas Guava, is a perfect small guava tree that can be very rewarding. In Nicaragua it is called "Guava for Drinking" or "Fresco de Guava". Despite the tartness, the flavor is excellent with passionfruit and pineapple tones and is much more pronounced than the subtle flavor of the common Guava. These fruits are very much a part of the culture and cuisine of Costa Rica. Also it has been successfully grown in California now and can be grown in many subtropical regions or as a container plant - "condo" fruit tree...
What is the best fruit for summer drinks and wine?
🍋 Hands, down, Costa Rican Guava, or Cas Guava (Psidium friedrichsthalianum) takes the crown! This tropical gem from Central America is known for its intense flavor, making it perfect for refreshing beverages and creative drinks. The tree is incredibly productive - even young ones yield abundant fruit!
🍋 We discovered this fruit last Summer. The tree was so productive (on the second year!), we didn't know what to do with so much fruit! So we made a concentrated drink and have been drinking it since then. It looks like the juice has antibacterial properties so it doesn't need to be canned, it stores for months in refrigerator.
🍋 Plans for 2025 season crop: Homemade Cas Guava wine!
Next summer, we are going to try making wine with Cas Guava. Its bold, tangy flavor is sure to produce a delicious, unique brew!
💯 Why choose Cas Guava?
• Packed with vitamin C - four times more than lemons - for a powerful immune boost.- • Rich in antioxidants to combat stress and inflammation.
- • Hardy and low-maintenance, thriving in poor soils and resisting pests.
- 🍸 Recipe: Cas Guava Juice Concentrate
Ingredients:
• Fresh Cas Guavas
- • Sugar (to taste)
- • Wash the guavas, cut in half and place them in a large pot with enough water to cover.
- • Add sugar to taste and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5-10 min until the fruit softens.
- • Let sit for a few hours so the fruit softens more.
- • Strain the liquid through a colander to remove the pulp.
- • Bottle the concentrate and refrigerate.
- • To serve, dilute with water to your liking for a flavorful, tangy drink!
Instructions:
This concentrate doesn’t need sterilizing/canning and stays fresh for months, thanks to Cas Guava’s natural antibacterial properties.
🍸 Traditional Favorite: Agua de Cas
Cas Guava is the key ingredient in Costa Rica's famous Agua de Cas, a blend of cas juice, water, and sugar. It's a refreshing, slightly acidic drink that's perfect for hot days.
With its vibrant taste, rich nutrients, and endless possibilities, Cas Guava is a must-have for gardeners and culinary adventurers alike!
