Guava Buds - Limited Edition

Guava is the tropics turned all the way up. Cut one open and the scent fills the room before the knife's through — floral, musky, sweet in a way that feels almost invented. It doesn't grow in a Carolina orchard, and we won't pretend it does. Like our Mango, it's a guest from a warmer latitude, in the Butterfields line because it's worth making, not because it's from here.

A Butterfields Guava is true to the ripe fruit — deep rose-pink sweetness, a perfume that borders on floral, and the soft tartness underneath that keeps it honest. Not a generic tropical-punch sweetness. The specific, unmistakable character of real guava, caught at its ripest.

Some people meet it for the first time in this candy. That's the point.
