Guava Buds - Limited Edition
Guava Buds - Limited Edition
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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I had my first Peach Buds about 14 years ago! A local restaurant was selling them and I've been hooked ever since. Having been raised near the Sandhills of N.C., I was no stranger to some of THE best peaches around. When I tasted this candy it was like being transported back to summertime peach season in the Sandhills!
I had never heard of Butterfields before, until an ad popped up in my social media feed recently. I'm such a candy person so of course I'm gonna give it a try! The Peach buds are very very good. I have them in a dish at my house and several other people really love them too! I bought key lime also, but haven't opened that bag yet. Can't wait to try those too.
Delicious old fashioned candy. Like how the peach flavor lingers after it's gone. Just the right subtle hint of peach, not too sweet and very fruity.
Loved these. Nice size. If I ate something spicy and there was an aftertaste, these were perfect to get rid of the taste. Very good and not overpowering. Will order more!
The watermelon buds are better than I imagined! They are so delicious and have a true watermelon flavor! So glad I tried them!
I bought 2 bags of peach bud and a bag of watermelon bud. I took one of the peach bags to work and all my co-workers LOVE them! I'm so glad I ordered 2 of the peach they are delicious!! The watermelon is really good too!
