🍸 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)

Instructions:
• • 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!

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!

🍉 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. 🌟

🌙 The most wanted collectible fruit tree - Honey Moon Guava.

• 🍉 Very rare variety of Guava tree - Honey Moon - is a unique variegated guava with the sweetest fruit we ever tasted.
• 🍉 Fruit is pear-shaped and variegated (white/green striped) outside when unripe, turning bright yellow when ripe. The flesh is pink, very aromatic, sweet and delicious, and contains only a few seeds that separate from pulp easily.
• 🍉 This variety is resistant to insects and worms.
• 🍉 Bushy, full tree with large, broad, variegated leaves. Surprisingly for a variegated form (which are usually slow and tender), this variegated beauty is very healthy, strong, vigorous and fasts growing.
• 🍉 The plant flowers and fruits in small size, perfect for containers. If planted in the ground, the tree grows small to medium size (10-15 ft) with has nice, symmetrical bushy shape.
• 🍉 Everbearing, very reliable producer, the plant constantly has fruit, buds or flowers.
